after Lexi hit the fifth three-pointer
0:04
oh yeah you went to the floor yes I did
0:07
and got resuscitated by Leila and Sydney
0:10
yes tell me how that came about oh you
0:12
know we just wanted to bring a lot of
0:14
energy to the bench the best we could so
0:16
that was the first thing that came to
0:18
mind I mean is that completely
0:21
spontaneous I mean you can't just all of
0:24
a sudden think oh I'm going to follow
0:25
the court oh no we discussed it but you
0:29
know we talked about on the bench and
0:30
then we just did it yeah did you talked
0:32
about it that day or just like 5 minutes
0:35
beforehand probably when you hit the
0:38
first one yeah had you ever done that
0:40
before no we haven't yeah uh but all
0:45
season there's been pretty pretty
0:48
animated on the sidelines everybody was
0:50
animated on the sidelines is that
0:52
anything you've seen in any of the team
0:54
fight for before um you know I feel like
0:57
a team you can see a lot from a team
1:00
based on how their bench reacts for
1:01
their players that are on the floor you
1:03
know so I feel like you can see that we
1:04
have good culture and that we can bring
1:06
like energy no matter what if we're on
1:07
the core making an impact or on the
1:10
bench so so uh what's the thinking that
1:15
you're unconscious because like uh
1:17
like's unconscious by making the all the
1:19
threes is that what the mindset is yeah
1:23
I mean anything to get everyone going
1:26
you know it was it was a big moment in
1:28
the game and we were really happy for
1:29
like so anything to show how excited we
1:31
were for her thanks yeah when uh Lexi
1:35
hit the fifth three
1:37
poter uh Blanco went to the
1:40
floor and you guys resuscitated her can
1:44
you tell me how that came about
1:46
and um we kind of just had a plan for
1:49
like multiple different celebrations to
1:51
do um and I don't know blona just
1:54
volunteered to get resuscitated because
1:56
I think Lex three just bought her back
1:58
to life so
2:00
and okay go ahead oh no I so I only
2:03
participated in one of the celebrations
2:05
but I did not see this I saw it back
2:08
later but I was just like yeah this is
2:10
hilarious so we were just trying to make
2:12
the most of our time and having a lot of
2:14
fun down
2:15
there so so it's not necessarily totally
2:18
spontaneous you guys talked about it
2:20
beforeand oh yeah because we knew that
2:22
Lexi was going to go off or she was
2:23
going to start going off so we had plans
2:25
for like every other three we're going
2:27
to have a different celebration and was
2:29
bla the planned person to hit the court
2:31
I think we all contributed me Blanca and
2:33
Sierra and then Sydney was the one that
2:35
came up with like the bo one
2:38
so and so the the the thinking is uh
2:43
Lexi's unconscious we'll have a player
2:45
who's unconscious is that that how that
2:46
was um yeah pretty much yeah her three
2:49
just going to bring W back to life yeah
2:52
uh what what does that say about the the
2:55
I mean not every team's going to have
2:57
that sort of creative celebration um
3:00
what does that say about your the
3:03
team I think like we love just
3:05
celebrating each other like we don't
3:07
mind even like if we're not in the game
3:10
at that moment or like even like when
3:12
we're down like we want people to like
3:13
get hot and like have really good games
3:16
and like we love celebrating that and
3:17
like I think that shows our
3:19
collectiveness like coach was even like
3:21
we all need to be together whether
3:22
you're out there whether we're in the
3:24
Huddle whether we're on the bench like
3:26
everybody needs to bring their p and
3:27
like we love doing that and it shows
3:32
that is this the most creative
3:34
celebration you guys have done this
3:36
season or is there one that I
3:39
missed I feel like that might be the
3:41
most creative I like the push-ups too
3:44
did three push-ups L Lexi I want to say
3:46
her third movie oh baa did push-ups
3:49
after were on the ground and Sierra was
3:51

3:55
this many this sort of creative
3:57
