Thanks to the basher of social networks, Beau Belga brings A-Game vs Geneva

SMART CLARK GIGA CITY – Beau Belgian was very motivated on Sunday night.

Belgian admitted that a netizen’s criticism of his playing style got the better of him as he drove Rain or Shine to an 85-82 overtime victory over Barangay Geneva at the Angeles University Foundation Sports Arena.

This morning because (Wednesday), I have a motivation. A hater criticizes me on social media, saying that I only hurt at the PBA. And I just want to try it (otherwise) tonight, ”he said.

The 6-foot-5 big man racked up a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds to finish with four assists, two steals and a block.

The two-time PBA champion sank a booming triple that gave the Elasto Painters an 83-78 lead in the extension period as they rebounded from a bitter 88-89 loss to Alaska and moved to No. 2 with a 4-1 record.

Belga said he really wanted to show that he is more than just the tough player that people think of him.

“I read something like that from a stranger and then I judged myself like that, which of course is a bit painful because you just played your game and then you will be judged so strongly,” he said.

“I really want to win and show my worth here in the league, what my skills are, what I can still do apart from being a bully, what they tell me is to be a slingshot. It turned out to be a good result. I am very grateful that he has motivated me ”.
