ROOKIE DIARY: JUSTIN CHUA
In my first conference in the PBA…
It didn’t start out well, pero in the latter part ng conference, I got my confidence back at nabibigyan na ako ng chance maglaro. I was happy, so hopefully, I could produce more and play better.
I learned from the veterans…
Tinuruan nila ako ng mga tips, kasi halos pareho kami ng laro ni J-Wash – sa labas. Di naman ako masyado pumoposte sa loob, so tinuturuan nila ako kung paano mag-read ng depensa, kung ano yung mga kailangan ko gawin para makaiwas sa kanila. Yung mga little stuff.
My most memorable moment in the PBA was…
Yung first game ko talaga against Ginebra. I came off the bench, nag-run kami nung huli, hinabol namin yung lamang, but we came up short. The second one was against Rain or Shine. I think I was the last one who made a basket sa team namin to get the lead. Kasama na rin yung game against San Mig Coffee, kaso yung doon naman, nagka-turnover ako ng late. So yung tatlo yung memorable for me.
I still have to improve on my…
Physical strength, kasi lugi pa rin ako hanggang ngayon at nafee-feel ko pa rin yung sakit, Agility din, tapos more gulang, kasi marami pa akong kailangang matutunan.
I’ll grade my performance as…
C, or C-plus. Nung umpisa, di ako nakakalaro, pero nung ginamit naman ako, nakapag-produce naman. Alam ko naman na kaya ko pa dagdagan so C muna and hopefully, paakyat ng paakyat. (RL)
