MANILA – After a very brief break from basketball, San Miguel's June Mar Fajardo and TNT's Roger Pogoy and Troy Rosario went right back to work – this time to prepare for the 2019 FIBA World Cup with Gilas Pilipinas.
Guiao was admittedly saddened that the trio could not come to their training camp in Spain earlier this month, as it had been crucial to the development of the team's chemistry both on and off the court. "Sa practice medyo naghahabol pa sila June Mar tsaka sila Troy tsaka si Pogs. We asked them to come in 30 minutes earlier in practice para meron silang extra time to run the sets with the team, so they can catch up," he said.Fajardo, who cut short his celebration with San Miguel on Tuesday to attend practice, said he is doing his best to recover quickly from the grueling Finals series.
Meanwhile, the TNT pair of Rosario and Pogoy are trying to get over the mental and emotional exhaustion of the championship series by pouring all their energies into the national team. Now, the two say they are fully focused on their responsibilities with the national team – and it starts with re-learning all the plays and schemes.
