For high-flying wingman Jamie Malonzo, the transition to play from Barangay Ginebra to Gilas Pilipinas has been seamless thus far, considering he's with fellow Gin Kings Scottie Thompson and Japeth Aguilar as well as head coach Tim Cone in the national squad.

What's more, some of the defensive schemes applied at Gilas have been adapted from Ginebra. Cone, the PBA's all-time winningest coach, serves as one of Gilas coach Chot Reyes' assistants.'We take a lot of things in Ginebra and we bring it over to the Gilas team,' Malonzo told One Sports' Carlo Pamintuan in a recent interview posted at the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas' Facebook page.

Now part of Gilas' training camp in Europe, Malonzo has been absorbing everything he can as he tries to crack the final 12 roster and hopefully, contribute to the Philippines' drive to make a strong showing in the FIBA World Cup, which the country is co-hosting this August.'It's very exciting, and it's amazing.
