  Speaker 1: What was your mindset going into this game? Because you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: were unstoppable.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I just feel like my teammates needed me to step
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: up this game. Like the last two games, I feel
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: like I was being a little cry baby a little bit,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: So I just had to come out there and play
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: like the people in Philly play. Marina.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: We got a chance to chat with Andre Drummond during
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the game and he said that you know I'm relaying
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the message.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I'm the messenger. Okay, he said, go on and seen you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Play a couple of times with Connecticut Son. He was
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: talking a little mess with you before the game and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: said he hasn't seen you you play a good game.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So I saw the chest bump that you gave him
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on the sideline after hitting that big three. What was
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that light to finally play a good game in front
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of somebody that played with your brother and knew you sent.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You were fourteen years old. Uh, he's like a big
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: bro to me. So he came to Connecticut after my
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: knee injury, a little rough patch and he's already talked
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: with mess to me, that was childish, but you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I like that, So yeah, he kind of got me
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: going a little bit. He's like, all, are you gonna
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: make a shot? I'm like, wow, that's disrespectful. So I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: guess I'm gonna go out there and show you. But
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I really appreciated him. He showed out for me. He
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: always comes to supportive and he's always called her text away,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: so I appreciate that. Marina list s and Lenda, you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: did your big one.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I really want to talk about your crash out jar
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: because I made a suggestion.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: That I think that people should match donations. We see
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: people match donations when people make free throws three pointers.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: If you're putting your own money up for the crash
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: out jar, that's going to a good cause. I really think.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I don't you didn't see this, but during the game,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: fans was holding up money for it. Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, co on, something is happening here with this jar.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? I'm honestly like, it's so cool
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to see the fans engage and like, obviously a crash
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: out whatever. I hold on, hold on, let's talk about
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: how I did not crash out and I got pushed
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in the chest. I wanted to go nuts. It counts right. Wait,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I got a technical earlier in the game. You didn't
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: get a technical. No, I didn't get a tech. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: didn't want anybody.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: The boss course says you have one.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Oh no, hell no, we need to appeal something that's insane.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't do anything. All right, we'll find I guess
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I already iron Prepe paid anyway, so I'm good to go, honestly,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: kind of picking off, picking up, pigging, backing off what
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: page said, like just the ice in Minnesota and stuff. Uh,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: anything that goes into the jar this month is going
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to UH donation in some Minnesota. So it's bigger than
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: me always. So we're gonna find a good cause and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: try to help everybody out. Love that Marina.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of young fans in the building
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that obviously came in, you know, with different jerseys. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: think they all are leaving understand that they're a huge
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: fan of Marina Maybrey. Can you take me through I'm
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: not a shooter, okay me through.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Take me through that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: When you first hit a shot and the basket keeps
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: getting bigger and bigger, and your confidence just seemed to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: row even more. You don't ever lack confidence, but just
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: take me through that process of you hitting those first
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: few shots.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, first off, my teammates would having great screens
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that are giving me the ball, giving me space to operate,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and when they had that kind of belief in me,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I got to come through. So when I saw a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: couple of shots go in, the baskets kept getting bigger,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and at that point, I was really just looking to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: get away from any Rosebud jerseys and launch it. So yep,
• 3:23

• 3:25
  Speaker 2: job at it. It was so much fun to watch.
