I believe the answer is: Emotional script

Emotional script refers to a set of emotions that people would biologically/naturally resorted to under specific situations.

In high pressure situation such as basketball game, people's emotional script usually would be as close as it gets to when we're in battlefield.

Waving and Yelling is used communicate with our trusted partner and to hype ourselves up in order to increase our adrenaline.
