He wasn’t supposed to play that night, but Pogoy still dressed, brandishing the features of a wolverine known for his enhanced physical abilities and powerful regenerative ability. Pogoy’s desire to help his team win forced TNT Tropang coach Giga Bong Ravena to take him onto the court and it worked as he helped lead his team to victory no. 4. His heroic deeds allowed Tropang Giga to stay on top of the rankings in the Philippine Basketball Association Cup of the Philippines inside the bubble at the Angeles University Foundation Sports Stadium in Angeles City, Pampanga on Monday at night. A sprained ankle was supposed to keep Pogoy on the sidelines. But his big plays helped Tropang Giga slow down the Phoenix Super LPG 110-91. And this earned him the praise of Tropang Giga coach, Bong Ravena. “For us coaches, RR is ‘The Wolverine.’ He was supposed to rest. But he really wanted to play. And this is a really important game,” Ravena said. Tropang Giga struggled when Phoenix got off to a strong start and fell behind by as much as 14 in the first half. Pogoy went on to dish out 30 points, including five triples during his time on the court. Ravena said they finally managed to act together and managed to stop Phoenix with their defense. “It was our defense that It helped us, “added Ravena. Pogoy’s presence inspired his teammates to pitch, with Poy Erram hitting 7 of 12 for 18 points, Simon Enciso shooting 13 and Bobby Ray Parks hitting 12.
