The other Raptors players all showed visible panic on their faces.
As Wang Yi prepared to inbound the ball, he held out a hand and pressed it down in the air, signaling for them to calm down.
Then he handed the ball to Little Carter and let him dribble across half court.

The entire comeback had left the spectators fired up, their blood racing.
Amid the cheers and shouts, the Celtics players were all brimming with confidence.
After their Power Forward, Jerati, made the shot, every player excitedly pumped his fist, high-fived teammates, and bumped chests.
