There are a couple of things Troy Rosario regrets as he wrapped up his first conference as a professional basketball player: how he started his PBA career and how TNT ended its PBA Philippine Cup campaign.
“First and last games ko lang yung parang magre-regret ako. Pangit yung first game ko, tapos pangit yung tapos ng conference namin,” he said after TNT bowed out of the 2016 Smart Bro PBA Philippine Cup with a 104-89 defeat to Rain or Shine on Monday.
The second pick in this year’s draft started out flat and registered an underwhelming four point, three rebound showing in his debut against Alaska but that has since changed as Rosario proved to be a solid contributor for Jong Uichico later on in the conference.
However, a shoulder injury put a damper to overall decent first conference for the former NU Bulldog.
With the game already out of reach, Rosario hurt his right shoulder after Jericho Cruz swiped the ball off of his pass late in the payoff period. He immediately trooped to the bench as the Tropang Texters exited the tournament.
“Di ko masyado kayang igalaw. Masakit pa rin eh,” he said of the injury.
But more than the pain in his shoulder, what hurt Rosario more was TNT’s abrupt exit. “It’s not the way na gusto ko matapos yung conference.”
The 6-foot-6 rookie did an admirable job for the Tropang Texters, stepping up in Ranidel de Ocampo’s absence and netting an average of 15.5 points and 6.4 rebounds.
“Masaya na ako sa unang conference ko. Tingin ko nakatulong naman ako sa team,” said Rosario. “Di ko inexpect na ganito ang maipapakita ko, pero sinubukan kong gawin yung kung ano yung kaya ko.”
With his first conference in the PBA behind him, Rosario could only look forward as he continues to learn among the veterans of TNT.
“Marami akong natutunan, lalo na para maglaro sa isang team na disiplinado. Minsan kailangan mag-give way dahil rookie. Kailangang mas magtrabaho dahil bago ka lang,” he said. “Nabigyan ako ng minutes at nagtiwala sila sa akin. Siguro naibigay ko naman yung inexpect nila sa akin.”
