Tenorio blame himself in Gin Kings’ loss to Air 21

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel star guard LA Tenorio had a nightmare start to his Commissioner’s Cup.

He missed all 11 of his attempts from the field and was a non-factor in the Gin Kings’ loss to the Air 21 Express Sunday night.

Tenorio took the blame for his team’s setback.

“Aminado naman ako, masama talaga yung laro ko at kitang-kita naman ng mga tao,” Tenorio told InterAKTV in a telephone interview. “Siguro kung nakagawa man lang ako maski six points, mananalo pa kami.”

A cerebral point guard, he already knows what he did wrong in the last game.

“Bad shot selection is the main reason. Marami rin kasi akong iniisip. Iniisip ko kung paano ko isi-set up yung mga teammates ko kaya ang nangyari tuloy yung laro ko naman ang naapektuhan at apektado rin yung team ko dahil ako ang missing link,” he said.

“Ito na yung pinakamasamang laro sa career ko.”

Tenorio believes he can bounce back from the setback.

“Nangyayari naman talaga yan sa player. Even nung nasa Alaska ako, may mga times na masama laro ko, pero bumabawi agad ako,” he said.

“Next game, magiging aggressive kaagad ako sa umpisa, especially sa offense para rin mataas kaagad yung kumpiyansa ko. Baka kasi kapag hindi ako naging agresibo, mahirapan na naman ako maka-score.”

Tenorio knows that although he sets up the plays for his team, he is likewise tasked to produce points.

“Kailangan rin kasi yung scoring ko, hindi lang ako, pati rin yung mga kasama naming,” he added. “Kailangan tulong-tulong kami sa scoring.”
