Arvin Tolentino showcased his readiness to assume a leadership role at Northport with an impressive performance in their 105-86 victory over the Phoenix Fuel Masters. The 6-foot-5 forward exploded for 41 points, including 27 points in the second half, to achieve a new career high. Tolentino's stellar shooting display, going 7-of-11 from beyond the arc, coupled with his contributions in rebounds and assists, demonstrated his willingness to become the team's new go-to player after the departure of star guard Robert Bolick.
While acknowledging the difficulty of filling Bolick's shoes, Tolentino expressed his willingness to embrace the challenge and shoulder the responsibility to help Northport succeed. He relishes the pressure and the sense of duty that comes with being a key player. Tolentino understands that being the focal point of the team doesn't diminish the importance of collective effort, emphasizing the significance of involving everyone and playing as a cohesive unit.
Tolentino's outstanding performance was undoubtedly remarkable, but he recognized that it was a result of the team's overall excellent performance. The victory was a testament to Northport's strong teamwork, with Tolentino crediting his teammates for their collective contributions. As Northport looks ahead, Tolentino's leadership and exceptional performance provide the team with a promising outlook for future games.
At the end of the day, Tolentino was always seen as a potential superstar in the Philippines. Attitude was always the issue.
And it seems like Ginebra, through the leading of coach Tim Cone, fixed that. And now, he is ready to become a superstar!
