Ferrer not stopping until he earns Cone’s full trust
Kevin Ferrer had a field day when Ginebra head coach Tim Cone gave him and the other youngsters the chance to play closer for the Gin Kings in their game against Mahindra Friday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Ferrer had his best offensive night in a Ginebra uniform putting up 12 points, all coming from distance, to go along three rebounds.
The rookie, however, is not satisfied with what he did in their 89-70 win.
“Konti pa lang pero kailangan pa mag-earn, hindi naman ako titigil,” said Ferrer. “Kung anong trust man merong ibinigay si coach Tim sa akin, bibigyan ko pa siya ng rason para ibalik sa akin yun na-earn ko.”
Cone joined Scottie Thomspon, Paolo Taha, and other rookies Jericho De Guzman and Jammer Jamito on the floor in the final minutes the game.
“Masaya kasi binigyan kami ni coach Tim ng opportunity so grinab na naming mga rookies,” said Ferrer.
“Nagpapasalamat din ako sa mga teammates ko kasi sila yung nagpu-push sa akin para tumira, binibigyan nila ako ng kumpiyansa.”
