HOPING TO END TITLE HUNT
For Jay-R Reyes, his trade to San Miguel Beer poses as a new challenge and he hopes to finally land the big one.
“Di pa ako nakakapag-champion kaya sana dito makarating na rin,” he said.
In his nine years and six teams as a pro, the 30-year-old has yet to taste a championship. And with the Beermen coming off of a Philippine Cup championship victory, Reyes believes that he has a big chance to finally win the big one this time out.
“Masaya ako kasi mapupunta ako sa team na galing sa championship. Malakas na team yung napuntahan ko kaya masaya talaga,” he said.
And he’s ready to do it all for the Beermen.
“Everytime na pinapasok ako, gusto ko makatulong lang sa team. Di lang offense kasi dito loaded na rin sa scorers eh. Defense at rebounds lang, malaking tulong na,” Reyes said.
But he still feels for his old squad Ginebra, a team he called home for two years.
“Malungkot ako na iniwan ko yung Ginebra kasi matagal ko rin nakasama yung mga teammates ko dun,” Reyes said. “Yung fans, grabe ang suporta so sana maging ok din sila dun.” (RL)
