Rain or Shine banger Beau Belga and Petron rookie June Mar Fajardo developed a good bond over the past several months as part of the Gilas Pilipinas national pool preparing for the FIBA Asia Championship. But with their respective teams facing each other in the Governors’ Cup finals, there has been no love lost between the two men as they battle each other in the paint. “Trabaho lang eh. Wala namang personalan kaya naglalaro lang ako. Kapag nasa court laro lang pero kapag sa labas magkaibigan kami,” Fajardo told InterAKTV in an exclusive interview. The 6-foot-10 slotman has dominated his matchup with Belga, finishing with 15 points and 17 rebounds in Game One before posting 26 and 14 in Game Two. This is despite the physical tactics being used by Belga against him. But according to Fajardo, being aggressive has backfired on the Elasto Painters center. “Si Belga tingin ko kasi gigil na gigil na. Parang ang gusto niya talaga pigilan ako kaya pinipisikal na niya ako,” said Fajardo. “Parang wala na siya sa laro. Iniisip niya pisikalin na lang ako.” His point output on Wednesday was a career-high, and Fajardo said he owes his performance to his team. “Kahit rookie pa lang ako nagtitiwala sila sa kakayahan ko kaya malaki ang pasalamat ko sa kanila. Sa ensayo ilang beses namin pina-practice yung plays para sa akin kaya maganda nilalaro ko,” said Fajardo. hotshot
