The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend Page #5

---

Press, I thank

what you're saying,

but I feel

tell you, mate,

some things will never change.

Need to open the mind to new ideas

.

Why does not the idea

playing with them?

Otherwise it will be a false victory in the championship

,

because you have not faced

the state's best.

Goodnight Press.

Good night, Pete.

Good evening, technical.

Vern! Do something unexpected

once in a lifetime.

Were the regional finals.

The newspaper said that the champion

Conquer the state title.

Come on! Attention there!

With the play set,

I started thinking

If the technical Pendleton had understood

vision of my father on

the future of basketball.

Maybe win the state championship

also was not enough for him.

But everyone knew that he hated the idea

losing to anyone...

and this included

team Cleveland.

Okay, listen.

Sit relax. Listen.

It was great, was not it?

I have been thinking a lot about what it means

Be the best state of the team,

and... until a few days ago

I thought we were the better

State team.

We are the best, technical.

True. You are right.

We are the best "team

white" state.

Well, that's what matters.

What other team there?

Cleveland High.

Blacks?

What are trying to say, Dad?

Unless we beat the Cleveland

,

the state championship is a hollow victory

in my opinion.

Monday at 7:
30.

I can not force them to participate

of an unofficial game

but if you have courage,

will be here prepared.

Get that idea out of his head.

Do not worry.

I'll talk to him.

See you Treats!

There is the Pistol Pete.

Go Treats in Soda Shop today?

I do not know.

Oh, come on...

What is the problem?

Never celebrates with

team after the game.

We want you to come.

Come on, Pete.

All right, then.

Cool!

The first dance is mine.

Then I realized.

It was socially maladjusted.

Put me on a basketball court

with hundreds of people

and am very sociable,

but the track

dance Treats

with Sandy, the

Buddy girlfriend?

He was already mad at me

to attract the attention of everyone.

It got worse because my father

convinced the technical Pendleton

playing against the black team.

But dance with his girlfriend...

was when I started to sweat.

Drew attention from me

And gave it to a boy

eighth grade.

Now it's my turn to

draw attention away from you.

Will be no

game against blacks.

Do not raise your hand

to his father, boy,

still want to know who runs this family?

Of course, only played against senior

,

but never had a

Pete Maravich on the team.

A boy so only

appears once in a lifetime.

You can not imagine how I wanted it

you were that boy.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

But be aware that there will be no

game,

Because I will not let it happen

!

What are you doing here?

I thought I was in Treats.

I will not.

Honey, I heard the girls.

They want you to go.

No big deal.

How so?

There are a lot of crazy girls

to dance with Pistol Pete.

What's the matter, dear?

Do not tell me...

you fled classes

dance I paid?

It was a waste of time.

Had to practice with Dad.

True, Press?

What is truth?

Talk to you later.

Pete, let's take a quick course

.

Relax. Feel the rhythm

. See?

We can dance music

this century, at least?

If you can dance it,

will dance anything.

When a slow song,

pull the girl close, as well.

Wonderful things can happen

when you are dancing.

My turn.

The first time I left

with this beautiful woman,

the band of Glenn Miller was playing

And during the first song,

I asked her to marry.

So, you want me to take you to

Treats?

Will not disappoint all those girls

, are you?

No

Sandy was right.

I've never been to parties

after the game.

It would be shocked if he found

I started going

when she called me.

I wondered if these boys

really wanted me to be.

They received me well when I arrived.

It was great.

Moose and the guys

greeted me.

But where was Sandy?

I was afraid of being cheated

on it.

Would you care to dance with

someone from another class?

But what Buddy?

Do not worry about it.

I like this music, come on.

She really liked me.

I could not believe.

Tonight would be perfect

More?

Known that the Pistol

had 21 points and 10 passes.

From star to drunk

in just one night.

Can fill,

"Can Head".

Walk, the boy will be famous

one day.

Moose, the runt

needs a lesson.

What are you looking,

four eyes?

Stay away from my girl

, Petey.

Buddy, we're just dancing

.

Grow up, Sandy.

Come near my girl

, have to pay.

You drank.

Come here, you worm.

Thought you had done all the bullshit

,

but you and your father

want to make people play

with a bunch of savages

a league that does not exist!

Will not have any

game, Maravich.

I will not let happen.

Why not?

It is best to close the nozzle, Petey Boy

Okay, let's vote.

Who wants to play

against blacks?

What is the matter with you?

They want Cleveland

come to our school?

No way.

This is your answer, dizzy.

Your father will take

the same thing.

You are a joke

in this city.

His father and you belong to a

circus freaks show.

You think you're a great player

.

But it's a comedy.

Scream "Pistol" to give

laugh of his tricks.

That's it.

I should break your face.

I'm leaving.

Let's personal, let's go.

Prejudice and

Buddy selfishness

had gone too far.

Moose.

Knew that if I said anything

,

Buddy would make me understand the meaning of

"Iron Time".

But I decided I needed to defend myself,

at any cost.

Hard head!

What was that?

You heard me. It is what it is.

Always thinking in yourself,

and instead of thinking about

team or Sandy.

Is that what you think?

That's what I know.

If you are a big deal,

why we

does not take the test?

If I win, we play

against Cleveland.

What if I win?

I leave the team.

You think you're good?

I know I am.

Can be prepared,

because this time

will be no tricks up his sleeve.

You and I, alone in the gym

in 20 minutes.

It was the moment of truth.

Buddy made me look like a fool in front of Sandy

while

broke his heart.

Buddy was wrong.

Dad and I were not a joke

, and I prove this...

him, Sandy

and myself.

Hey, Sprite, you can lead a

basketball in the hall?

For school 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.

If you're smart,

will give up.

Today it.

Your tricks will end soon, Pete.

You are a joke.

Scream "Pistol" to give

laugh of his tricks. That's all.

Should break your face.

Who starts?

You

But if you indulge in,

and use this gift that God gave him

,

will one day play in the first team

.

That pain there in the soul of background

encouraged me to be something better!

I can train you up out of breath,

but while it does not feel something

burning your soul, my

words are worthless.

Think... a dream

is nothing more than a challenge

we put ourselves.

That's it.

See you Monday night.

No, do not.
