Felipe Reyes will play his 400th ACB game against TAU this Saturday. The Real Madrid captain made his debut in the competition just over a decade ago in Game 6 of the 1998/99 season at the Fernando Buesa Arena. He's played 194 of his 399 ACB clashes with Real Madrid and 205 with MMT Estudiantes.

Felipe Reyes has scored 4,715 points, grabbed 2,747 rebounds and earned 5,890 performance points. He is one of the ten only players to have grabbed more than 2,500 rebounds in the competiion. Reyes won MVP honours for the regular season this year and for the playoffs final series of 2006/07. He has won two league titles (2004/05 and 2006/07), one King's Cup (2000) and one ULEB Cup (2007). He won the World Championships with Spain in 2006 and a Silver Medal in the 2008 Olympics. Reyes has also won three Eurobasket medals, being the most veteran player in the tournament of the current Spanish squad.

Felipe Reyes
"We're going to Vitoria hoping to play as well as we did in Madrid on Thursday. It will be hard because we'll play away from home, but we're having a good streak and we are confident in our chances. I think the real pressure is on TAU because they were leaders of the regular season and they've won both the Super Cup and the King's Cup. They also have the home advantage. They will be anxious to prove their bad result at Vistalegre was just a fluke and they will try hard to beat us. That's the reason why we should showcase the same intensity we had on Thursday. We must be psychologically strong and stay cool throughout the clash."
