MANILA — The Gilas men's national team touched down at 1:26 AM after a seven-hour delay to be back home after successfully snaring the gold medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.
"I don't know what to say in this moment. you know, the guys just worked so hard and we had such tremendous wins through that. Iran, China — China was an epic game — and then coming out playing as well against Jordan. When we needed to, we saved out best for last and played big when we needed.” "I'm getting way, way too much attention and credit for this when it's really the guys that came out and did all the work. But it's when guys grab you and throw you up in the air it's quite thrilling," he said.
"It's just a surreal moment and I definitely would not forget any of these moments. Even the bad moments from the start, but, yeah, man. Just gotta keep working. Keep getting better and that's what I try to do from Day One coming here to the Philippines." Ultimately, Brownlee said, he was happy to make history with his Ginebra coach after ending another championship spell in a different jersey. "Super" Marcio Lassiter, who has been with the national team since 2010, said this would be his last Asian Games but added that he will "definitely be honored to represent the country if, you know, the chance is given."
