Even after a dominant win against Far Eastern University to open their UAAP Season 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament campaign, the 5-foot-11 guard wants himself and the Green Archers to improve even much more. “Lalo na [in the] end game, I wasn’t executing the plays, I was doing whatever I wanted to do and I wasn’t following the system,” he admitted.
“It started on day one when coach came around in January. We got the feel for everybody, we got to know our roles, we trusted everybody, and we bonded close,” he said.Part of this off-season was Robinson taking over former mentor Derrick Pumaren last January 19, and he is tasked to help DLSU end their championship drought while also bouncing back after they missed out on a Final Four appearance last season.
“But like I said, this is just game one. It’s a long season. We’re happy where we are, but we aren’t content,” added the senior guard. Nelle then shared how the squad’s improved chemistry and feel from each other on and off the court played a factor in why he opted to return for his final year of eligibility.
“The environment is carefree. We love each other, we have each others’ back, and I don't think anybody from the outside can destroy this,” he said.For now, Nelle, who posted huge outings of 15 points, 12 assists, and eight boards against FEU, will have to shift his focus to Ateneo de Manila University as the life-long rivals are set to battle on Wednesday, October 4, 4 PM at the MOA Arena.
