Polish Champs cruised to second consecutive victory. One of the heroes of Wednesday showdown was Jerel Blassingame who finished with double-double 13 points and 11 dimes. See what J-Blass has got to say before trip to Zielona Gora.

Bartosz Pienkowski: Second straight win for us. You proved that Asseco Prokom is a very good team. How do you feel after these two games?
Jerel Blassingame: Every game is important, we are just trying to come out and win for ourselves. We have a lot of expectations as being the Champions, we have a tough season, but basketball is full of ups and downs, and we are just trying to get into the right rhythm and win the Polish title.

B. P.: Everybody is waiting for us in Polish league. Is it additional motivation for you?
J. B.: Of course, it is big motivation for us. Because the league is good and these guys are looking forward to challenging us in every game. We are just trying to execute on offense and defense and I think we will be ok.

B. P.: What do you think about your game? Yesterday you notched another double-double, are you happy with the way you play?
J. B.: It’s all about my teammates. If these guys get into the position to score, it’s my job to deliver them the ball, so whenever they are playing good, it’s easier for me to do my job.

B. P.: Very difficult game against Zielona Gora and their fans is ahead of you. How we got to play to extend the winning streak to three?
J. B.: They are very good team. They are executing well and we’ve been watching some games to prepare the plan how to stop them. It’s all about us at the end of the day. If we play our game, play consistent defense I don’t think there is anybody that can beat us.
