Yegor Demin awakened his childhood memories

If the hero of this duel enters Magic etc Networks is called Paolo Bancheroit was not far from being there Egor Demin. Despite not scoring a single point through the first three quarters, the Nets rookie took advantage of the foulAnthony Black to open his counter on free throws.

In the final two minutes of the game, he made the first 3-point shot to put the Nets within three, and then the second that tied the two teams and sent the game into overtime.

“It’s not the first time he’s done this when the game is close in the fourth quarter, but he’s made some very important shots.” reminds Michael Porter Jr. “He’s got confidence and when you work as hard as he does, you can’t do anything for three quarters and make the most important shots of the game. So I’m proud of him for hanging on and giving our team a chance to win.”

When extra time starts, Yegor Demin doesn’t take his foot off the gas. Scores his team’s first basket, still a 3-pointer, and then if he loses the ball and misses a free throw, the leader sets up another long shot against Wendell Carter Jr to put the Nets ahead with only a minute to play.

The heat stroke that cooled Paolo Banchero

However, Wendell Carter Jr. responded to give Orlando a slim one-point lead. With twelve seconds on the clock, Egor Demin has the ball in his hands again and uses a screen from Day’Ron Sharpe to find himself facing this same Wendell Carter Jr. As was the case a little while ago, he fires a new inward-facing long-range arrow that finds its target after hitting the board!

A shot that could have sealed the fate of this match, but Paolo Banchero decided otherwise by responding with a brilliant buzzer beater. However, if the Nets didn’t win, Yegor Demin finished the game with 18 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, going 5/5 on 3-pointers.

“It’s one of those moments that I imagined when I was a kid or in high school and I was filming in the gym,” Egor Demin remembers facing the press. “I imagined myself scoring a game winner or hitting five 3-pointers in a row. Those are the moments I visualized when I was little, so it felt good, but we didn’t win. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter.”
