The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend Page #2

---

,

dedication and the desire

that led me to believe

that could take the place of any

a team,

even Buddy Pendleton .

If not for Carl Cannfield

,

I'd be totally bored.

While others

celebrated the victories

got tired of sitting,

wondering when would chance

to participate in a game.

Hey, champ,

passes the pliers.

It's there in the box.

Thank you.

Looking from up the basket seems

that can hit any pitch.

I wanted to have this time!

No kidding!

You know, one time a guy told me

I had a screw loose

when I said I wanted to be professional

.

Really?

Yeah, he did not even want

watch me play.

Play the ball here.

When you are down there

everything seems difficult.

It's like fighting

windmills.

Give me another ball.

The guy who believes

it, only see limits,

but a dreamer's the kind of people

believes that these two

balls can fit in the basket.

When you dream, everything is possible

. It's late.

How about playing face to face?

I start.

Right.

When I was in eighth grade,

was on the bench,

as you were today.

I know what's going on.

The hands sweat, the heart races

like a freight train.

Finally, you

comes into play.

Fans who are there, not

know what they are feeling.

They just expect there on the court,

somehow that boy

help the team they love

to win the game.

When we think so,

a dream no more than

is a challenge

we put ourselves.

Your turn.

Do you understand what I'm saying, Pete?

Yes, sir.

It's after 10,

Press Maravich,

neighbors just called.

Really?

Well, they are

agreed so late?

Cute.

How long this will take?

Until I win.

Really? Go dreaming.

Best of seven.

Stay here, honey!

I need fans.

Need a beating

, yes.

When will grow, Press?

Once you grow as well.

Point! End of game.

Call this pitch?

The ball came in, did not enter?

Game over, boys,

come on, Pete, has passed

bedtime.

Pete, what is the best

player of all time?

George Mikan.

No

In the semifinals

1950 he made

an average of 31 points per game.

So what?

Okay. And Natt Holmon?

Original Celtics, good

feint, great passes.

Not Very limited.

Limited... get this...

Well, the Dutch Dennert?

He invented the pivot position,

and it was my coach

professional team.

Improved, but it is far.

It is far! Okay, wise guy!

Who was the best player that ever existed

?

Can you tell me, Dad!

This is my boy!

What are you doing?

Running.

But we have a

game in an hour.

I know. I think I have that save energy

to sit on that bench.

My first passion was

officially begun with Sandy,

cheerleader.

I knew I was risking my life

talking with his girlfriend

Buddy Pendleton

but it was beautiful.

My knees were shaking

when I spoke to her.

I saw you in the play.

Will actress?

Oh, sure. Marilyn Monroe.

It will be a movie star?

I think not.

So why is the play?

She must have found me an arrogant fool

but I needed to say.

Why waste time being an actress,

if not he tried to be the best?

Come on, Buddy!

Was missing three

- two!

Technical foul. White.

Number one - zero is out of the game.

Play out?

You lost your mind?

You have to help my boys too.

Get out of here. Time, time!

Come to here!

Needs treatment, zebra!

We will have to make a change.

Maravich, you enter!

Father, you must be kidding

.

You play, I'm the coach.

Go warming, Maravich.

Well, we have to do is the following

...

Press!

It's about time.

Keep track,

enter the game.

Well, son, keep

control, play right.

Ready? Come on.

Is ours is ours.

It is easy, come on.

One, two, three,

Lions! We Will!

Okay,

Buddy! That's right!

I'm free!

Wow, I thought

had a good team.

But we do not

worth a penny!

In thirty years as coach,

deliver never seen a game like this.

And you, Maravich,

that play is great

to the circus,

but for the team of Daniel High,

is poor basketball.

Think of it during the weekend,

and play basketball

how to,

will be able to put the uniform of the team...

if you can not,

forget it.

Hi, Pete... you

played very well.

We lost.

You can not always win.

When we lose,

people remember only this.

I still think you played well.

If you're smart,

will give up.

Just today!

He did not mean it!

Get out of here.

Are you defending him?

It was an accident, Buddy.

Okay. If you are

so you want,

'm going out with the Walker

and the boys today.

As Sandy or anyone else

'd know what I was feeling

?

Buddy.

Hey, Maravich! Very

thanks, sausage!

Losing the game was as

have a knife in the heart.

Me condicionei to believe that

only victory was

acceptable, nothing more.

I had disappointed the team...

fans, Daniel High School

and my hero, my father.

Knew that you find here.

Right acted in that bid.

Know Pete,

you have something that man more

rich world can not buy...

A gift.

Maybe now look like you

does not fit... as...

if I did everything wrong.

But believe me,

you're on the right track.

Your mother and I...

can not afford a university.

But if you indulge in,

and use this gift that God gave him

,

will one day play

in the team.

I know, son

And if really good, for

will get a scholarship /

maybe play with the pros,

and join the championship...

I think I heard these words

thousand times.

And tonight I realized

I wanted to be "Pistol".

Now is me

I will change the situation

appears the desire seed

Reviving the ashes in the little heart

Awake, awake the flame

Now is me

No one will stop me

Now is me again

Now is me

My path will follow

I discovered what it takes

E tracks will not let

I will break the chains

That put me

And find this hope, shining far

The price to continue on my way

Now is me

No one will stop me

Now it's me again

Now is me

My path will follow

Now is me

No one will stop me

Now it's me again

Now is me

My path will follow

I will follow

So you told Pete that

would be better to leave the team?

We talked.

As always, my

opinion does not count.

But, Helen, is...

This is the real problem

, Press.

You are always fighting against windmills.

Hold on.

What do you mean?

It's okay if you want to fight the tide

,

but his son to do the same?

Hold on.

A few weeks ago you happy

because Pete

joined the team.

I was happy because I know how

he wants to be like you /

join the team owner to 13 years.

But it will not happen,

because everything

Vern see Pendleton

is a boy of 1.60

tall and 40 pounds.

Helen, you do not understand

which he is living.

I know Pete is suffering.

Of course he is suffering

.

When I was his age,

wanted out of steel

in Aliquippa.

My lungs were full of dark smoke,

and my hands were rough

to work 15 hours a day.

Think I do not

was suffering?

But it builds character, Helen,

That pain there in the soul of background

encouraged me to be something better!

I can train you up out of breath

,

but while he did not feel

something that burns your soul,

My words are worthless.

But he's just a boy.

I know.
