Cebu City, Philippines—Cebuano guard Eliud Poligrates sure didn’t take long to showcase what his former squad — the Cebu Sharks — had been missing all along as he put on a show in leading
Marinerong Pilipino to a 118-71 demolition of Hazchem in the 2019 PBA D-League Foundation Cup on Monday, August 5, 2019, at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
After the game, the pride of Poro admitted that he had a little more pep in his step as he was motivated to show off what he was not allowed to do when he was still with the Cebu Sharks.“I want to show them that they made a mistake. I worked very hard and they still did that to me,” said Poligrates, referring to his paltry 12.5 minutes per game with the Sharks.
“They just didn’t have any trust in me. As a player, I wanted to be out there and compete since I was away from the game of basketball for two years,” said Poligrates. “I’m just grateful that another team was willing to give me a shot. I didn’t even ask for a hefty salary because all I wanted to do was to play once again.”
