Robert Bolick seems to be finally settling down and fitting in nicely to NLEX.
In just his second game back in the PBA, the high-scoring guard exploded for 30 points – the fifth time in his career – and recorded 15 assists – his second most in NLEX’s 104-97 victory over Blackwater
Bolick is also starting to make his mark in the Road Warriors franchise with his output already being the most points scored by an NLEX local since Don Trollano dropped 44 points last season.
His assists were also already the most by a Road Warrior since Kiefer Ravena had 17 against Ginebra in a PBA game in Dubai in 2019.
Bolick credited the nine-day break of NLEX which, according to the comebacking guard, allowed him to get himself accustomed to the system and to his teammates. He also tipped his hats off to the coaches for preparing them well for the game.
“Ganda ng samahan namin eh nagkakaintindihan na kami kung ano yung mga roles namin. credit sa coaches lalo kapag nag video session kami pinapakita nila saan kami nagkakamali,kung san kami kailangan naka pwesto,” shared Bolick.
“Sa kanila talaga ito nilagay lang talaga nila kami sa magandang sitwasyon napadali sa amin yung basketball dahil sa kanila,” he added.
Bolick also got the monkey off his back after finally giving NLEX, which let go of Trollano, Ben Adamos and Kris Rosales just to get him, a victory.
“Credit sa mga coaches nilalagay nila ako sa magandang sitwasyon. yon lang credit din sa mga teammates ko ilang beses na kami nabigo eh so di dapat kami mabigo ngayon para maganda ayong pasko namin,” said Bolick.
