凤凰城超级液化石油气燃料大师教练Topex Robinson与前锋Calvin Abueva保持着密切的关系，这导致野兽队在停赛16个月后期待已久的重返球场。
鲁滨逊承认很难每天练习Abueva并告诉他在他们出去玩时他必须留在后面。
鲁滨逊在周二的体育页面上说：“我记得对阵Ginebra的比赛，我必须走到他面前，告诉他pumunta ako sa room niya。
“到了一个点，奈安尼普·丁·西雅（Neron din siyang iniisip）出现在泡沫不存在的那一面。这真的很难，因为奈格塔农·西娅·萨金，瓦拉·阿科·马萨戈特·埃·永永·马希拉普，瓦拉·阿孔·马萨宾日期。”
“所以我向他发誓。在那段时间里，Ewan ko kung ano yung iniisip ko，但我上了他的房间。 mangyari。Yungyong承诺执行sayo，”他补充说。
在击败木兰热队后，这位教练在10月24日的赛后新闻发布会上变得情绪激动。第二天，PBA宣布将取消Abueva的禁令。
“他从来没有约会过的约会对象。我就像，sabi ko siguro eto na yung时间。所以我们玩了Ginebra，我们玩了Magnolia kaya naiyak ako。”
自2011年以来，这对夫妇已经在一起将近十年了，确切地说是与NCAA中的圣塞巴斯蒂安雄鹿。他们还联手在PBA的阿拉斯加。
当罗宾逊（Robinson）担任凤凰城的助理教练时，两人暂时分裂，不久之后，阿布耶娃（Abueva）被调到了燃油大师赛。他们甚至在某些时候甚至是邻居，住在同一个公寓里。
“罗宾逊开玩笑说：“与梅迪亚·马拉姆之间的关系。这是卓有成效的。 “但我很重视与卡尔文的关系。”
阿布耶娃（Abueva）分享了长期的裁员令他如何反思自己过去在球场上的过犯。
他说：“我会尽力而为。我会竭尽全力。” “可能一次要点三分。要庆祝的-子是伊桑贝塞斯。信永万岛ko子，’Huy！Magfocus ka！’ Pangalawang三分，ayun wala nang Extra。Na-focus ko na sarili ko。”
阿布耶娃（Abueva）回忆说，他们是由PBA专员Willie Marcial传唤的。
“可能是hinihintay palang发信号给[心理学家] para masunod lahat ng pinapagawa。然后是周日ilalabas yungpapel。Hintaylang，ilang oras nalang。Nag-meetingkami 11，mag-11：30。Nilabas yung结果发生在周日上午10点。 Nag-eensayo ako na walang kasiguraduhan，pero 99％parang naramdaman ko na makakapaglaro ako。”
Abueva admitted he was anxious to play in his first game back, knowing he would be playing for someone very special in his life.
“Ang aga ko natulog. Nag-extra sleep ako. Sinabi ko sa isip ko, yung game na to para sa lola ko kasi nag-suffer siya ng mild stroke. Mas nakakalungkot kung ‘di niya pa ko nakikitang naglalaro, kasi number one fan yun na sumusuporta sakin kahit saan,” said Abueva.
“Wag mo muna lalabas yung gigil na excited ka, di yung kumbaga bubulusukin mo o babanggain mo lahat,” Abueva shared about those first few seconds of the game against NLEX, “Nagpa-sub muna ako kay coach, extra hangin ako. Maya-maya bulusok nanaman. Kaya yung first game na yun sobrang halaga sakin, dun ko nakuha yung momentum ko.”
Abueva finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists and earned Best Player of the Game honors.
The tables even turned when Robinson got a technical foul in Abueva’s second game back, against the Alaska Aces.
“‘Di ko alam kung aawatin ko siya,” Abueva said while laughing. “Takot nga akong lumapit sayo nun eh. Bahala ka dyan.”
Robinson though said it was a sacrifice he was willing to make.
“I don’t mind getting T’d or getting thrown out para lang sa kanya. Sabi ko medyo magastos yun, madugo yun pero yun yung commitment ko sa kanya,” the coach said.
Robinson admitted he was making up for that one time he failed to take action–when Abueva clotheslined TNT import Terrence Jones, which led to his indefinite suspension.
“May isa akong pinagsisisihan. When that incident happened sa Talk ‘N Text, nakita ko na eh kasi kilala ko siya. Sa tingin pa lang niya, sa galaw niya alam kong may gagawin na siya eh. So sabi ko, I will never let that happen again,” he shared.
Topex also personally took it for himself to help Calvin go through the long process of going back to the PBA.
“I think ang pinakamahirap for me to consider was to convince him to do it. Kasi nga parang walang kasiguraduhan pero bakit ko gagawin ‘to, yun yung napakalaking question for him,” the coach shared. “And talagang kailangan mong bantayan. When I spoke to him about the procedure, I came to his house pa just to speak to him personally. Kasi feeling ko pag tinawagan ko over the phone or via Zoom, I don’t think I could relay it as honestly na maiintindihan niya.”
“Yung una, ‘di niya alam kung bakit kailangan niyang gawin. I think yung inexplain ko sa kanya, eto yung kapalit. Dun ko nalaman na determined talaga siya na bumalik na. Again, no guarantee but he took it with courage and sabi niya, ‘Eto yung gusto kong maging direction ng buhay ko’. Sabi ko, kahit anong direksyon ng buhay mo, pero kung di rin siya committed to that ‘di rin mangyayari.”
“I’m so proud of how he’s doing it. How he’s handling it,” Robinson shared. “Andyan pa rin yung competitiveness. Pero ngayon mas may control siya sa emotions. You know sometimes he’s gonna lose it, but we’re gonna provide him support.”
It was not lost on Calvin that he had been given a third chance in the PBA after a prior suspension with Alaska.
“Parang may pinapalabas sakin na, huy, kaya mo naman maglaro ng diretso, nang walang extrang ganito, extrang ganyan, focused ka pa rin sa kung ano nilalaro mo,” Abueva reflected. “In time natutunan ko na ayos palang maging ganun na laro, at sakin, saka ka na mag-celebrate pag tapos na.”
Abueva also recounted personally apologizing to Ray Parks inside the bubble after he insulted his girlfriend last year.
“Nagkita kami, at nabanggit ko na, ‘Hey bro, sorry for the past few years na nangyari.’ Sabi niya, ‘It’s okay, keep up what you’re doing. I wish you’re gonna come back soon.'”
Robinson补充说，他鼓励Phoenix充分利用PBA泡沫，这可能是千载难逢的经历。
他说：“最后一次nakita mo播放器mo何时几乎是24/7？这从未发生过。” “挑战泡沫，距今已有15年，当您谈论泡沫时。当时的Anak yung masasabi mo sa apo，anak mo，ano yung kwento na pwede mo maibigay？我们处在一个更好的地方。做我们爱的事Paglabas mo may pagkain ka，sumusweldo ka，您还能要求什么？最好成为自己的最好版本。Andito na kami，我们建立联系，我们开始交谈。只会使我们更强大。”
鲁滨逊还赞赏泡沫如何使他们成为PBA家族的纽带，即使在自己团队之外的球员和教练中也是如此。
“我对作为家庭的PBA感到赞赏的是，我们彼此视对方为我们的nagbabakbakan kami sa court pero pagbalikdito。’Yunyung mga经历了na sabi ko，我会很珍惜。我还能要求什么？安迪托·拉哈特（Andito lahat）。您可以将PBA代表一个家庭，这对我们在这里真的很幸运，”他说。
