00:00What I can say is, of course, we're happy even though our brothers are sick, Mo and Jorick.

00:07At least we fought and our coaches told us not to think about it and just keep going and fight until the end.

00:17BJ, did something change in your mindset that you're still looking for your shot this time, full confidence in shooting the ball?

00:24Yes, I've been struggling all season. It's a good thing I was able to get a shot this time.

00:34How does this affect your confidence that you have a breakout game against the seniors?

00:39It's a big thing because they have a lot of confidence in me and I just have to claim it.

00:45The opportunity just came and I just grabbed it. That's what Perez always says to me.

00:53BJ, how was your adjustment in the game, especially in the collegiate level and in the system Coach Chan set up for you?

01:00First of all, it's a big difference coming from high school and college.

01:05I adjusted off-season and my brothers were there.

01:09It's a good thing Coach Chan came early and we were able to adapt the system. It's just a process.

01:16What can you say to your team?

01:18Every time you're away from the U.S., you're just fighting.

01:22How do you feel that you still have a chance to make it to the Final Four?

01:27I can say that I'm very proud of our team because we're fighting and we're younger.

01:33That's the process.

01:35You're so cute, Mark.

01:36That's the process that Sir Mark always says.

01:39We'll get the win.

01:41You're so cute, bro.

01:44BJ, yesterday was KQ's 30th game.

01:47He's one of your idols in basketball.

01:49You're 31 years old.

01:50Did you get any inspiration from KQ's performance?

01:53Last night, before I went to sleep, I watched his highlights.

01:57I told myself that I can do that too.
