MERALCO NEEDS TO DEVELOP ‘WINNER’S ATTITUDE’ – GARY D
After finally mustering a respectable 3-2 record early in December, the Meralco Bolts suddenly lost their footing, stumbling in their next four assignments.
The Bolts are now looking for a fresh start in 2014, and one of those in the forefront of the battle for Meralco is Gary David.
After their fourth loss, a heartbreaking 82-83 defeat at the hands of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel last December 28 courtesy of a buzzer-beating Japeth Aguilar trey, the Gilas gunner was clearly distraught when he exited the Mall of Asia Arena.
“Masakit yung pgkatalo namin. Kailangan naming bumawi,” he said. “Dapat pa naming pag-isipan yung mga bagay na makakapagpaimprove sa amin, lalo na sa end game.”
Meralco was up by five in the final 15 seconds, but missed free throws doomed the Bolts, giving Ginebra a glimmer of hope, which they seized.
Though obviously disappointed, David hopes that 2014 will give them a much needed breather as they eye to salvage the season’s campaign in their final four games.
“Siguro ang kailangan lang naming iimprove ay yung mentality at eagerness to win,” he said. “Yung winner’s attitude – yun dapat naming pagtibayin, mas lalo na sa end game ng mga laro.” (RLeongson)
