PHNOM PENH — Justin Brownlee has performed in quite a few championship video games prior to now, however the naturalized Filipino mentioned Gilas Pilipinas’ gold medal run within the thirty second Southeast Asian Games will certainly be a particular one for him.
“Man, I gotta put this at the top,” Brownlee mentioned.
“There’s nothing like it but I have to say that about representing and putting on this Pilipinas jersey? There’s nothing like it. It’s an unbelievable feeling.”
It was a difficult SEA Games marketing campaign for Brownlee and Gilas Pilipinas. They had been humbled by an import-filled Cambodia workforce of their group stage assembly that put their redemption bid in query.
But the Filipinos persevered, overcoming points with the enjoying circumstances and the warmth to arrange a rematch with Cambodia within the gold medal spherical, which they ultimately gained after an 80-69 victory on the jam-packed Morodok Elephant Hall in Phnom Penh.
And Brownlee is savoring each second of it.
“When you have the whole country behind your back supporting you, the more you do great and you just kind of feed off that energy and give it your all,” Brownlee added.
“I pride myself in giving it all out there and leaving it all on the floor and like I said before — The Filipino pride, that’s what it’s all about. Win, lose, draw… We leave it all out on the floor and whatever happens. We live with it.”
