QMB on playing for Gilas 'Absolutely worth it always'

Title Quentin Millora-Brown's Unwavering Dedication to Gilas 'Absolutely Worth It Always'

As the Philippines' Gilas Pilipinas team navigated the second window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, Quentin Millora-Brown's recent addition to the team brought a much-needed boost of enthusiasm and energy. Despite the team's winless streak, Millora-Brown's confidence and dedication to representing the Philippines shone through in his words.

It's always an amazing experience to represent the Philippines. I take pride in being one of the 12 guys who get to wear the national team uniform. I'm excited for the team's future and growth, Millora-Brown said, his pride evident.

As the 6-foot-10 Filipino-American big man played his fourth games for the Philippines under coach Tim Cone's system, he grew more comfortable with each passing game, figuring out where he fit well within the team's system.

This window was really good for me, just building my confidence and getting a feel for the system, he explained. The last two games, I started to figure out where I fit well, where I can score. Defensively, I've always felt at home.

As a naturalized player, Millora-Brown's role is crucial in setting the tone for the team's offense. He understands the importance of playing within his given role, ensuring naturalized player Justin Brownlee and Gilas' outside shooters get to their sweet spots.

Just continuing to do those things, trying to get Justin better looks and finding ways to get our shooters open, get them to their confidence spots, Millora-Brown noted.

While the team's 27-point defeat at the hands of Australia was a tough pill to swallow, Millora-Brown saw it as an opportunity for growth. He acknowledged that Gilas needs to break Australia's physicality and find ways to get past their defense.

We never really got into a confident flow throughout the game. They kept taking us out of our spots, he observed. We need to break their physicality and find ways to get downhill, get past the elbow. Those are things we need to do to win.

As the team looks to the future, Millora-Brown's unwavering dedication to Gilas is a beacon of hope. With his confidence growing and his understanding of the team's system improving, he's poised to make a bigger impact in the team's next matches.

Millora-Brown's story serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, a positive attitude and dedication to one's role can lead to success. As Gilas navigates the ups and downs of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, Millora-Brown's absolutely worth it always mantra will continue to inspire his teammates and the Filipino basketball community.
