Sergio Rodriguez beat his assists record against Basquet Manresa

Sergio Rodriguez's talent knows no bounds. Very few players in the world can boast the vision possessed by the Real Madrid point guard, who recorded his highest number of assists in a game against the Catalan team when he got 14. The exhibition from the man from the Canaries in the Palacio de los Deportes is the second best in Real Madrid’s history, which curiously puts him behind only Pablo Laso and, joint with Pepe Sanchez, is the highest number of assists in the ACB since the 2006-07 season.

Every minute and a half of the 22 that he was on court at the Palacio de los Deportes the same thing was repeated: Sergio Rodriguez made the final pass to a teammate before they scored. He made 14 assists in total, of which nine were in the first ten minutes. A feat never previously achieved in the history of the ACB. His exhibition continued until he beat his personal best in the league. The Real Madrid player went beyond his previous best by two assists, which was the 12 he managed with Adecco Estudiantes against Llanera Menorca in April 2006. In a Real Madrid vest, he improved on the 10 he got in the Euroleague against Anadolu Efes in November 2011.

The Real Madrid number 13 thus recorded the highest number of assists this season and equalled the former Unicaja Malaga point guard, Pepe Sanchez’s record from a game against MMT Estudiantes in 2006 -07. That day, the former Real Madrid point guard did it in 27 minutes, five more than El Chacho.

Sergio Rodriguez also entered Real Madrid’s history with his 14 assists, which puts him second on the club’s all-time list. The point guard from Tenerife was just one off of reaching the top spot, which is occupied by his coach Pablo Laso, with 15. The coach from Vitoria reached that figure against Forum Valladolid in the 95-96 season, but he took nine minutes more.
