GILAS Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes said training overseas is a tested formula, which he intends to use once more as he tries to build the chemistry of the national team and prepare it for the big games when the country hosts the 2023 FIBA World Cup in August.

'That's no different from what we did from the past, like our preparations from the (2014) World Cup before, where we trained in Lithuania, and we trained in Europe, we trained in France and Spain, and then we spent two or three weeks in Miami with Andray Blatche as well,' Reyes said during his recent guesting at sports media personality Quinito Henson's Youtube channel Playitright TV.
