Thunderstruck Page #7

And your talent became his talent?

See, I told you

you wouldn't believe me.

Well, I'm not stupid, Brian.

Isabel, lack, my basketball coach...

...he didn't even know my name

before all this.

And I was the team manager, okay'?

I was that bad.

Just watch this shat, okay?

Watch this shat.

That is one bad shat.

Yeah, I know, okay?

Wait. We're gonna watch that again,

all right?

There. Did you see that?

Did you see that?

- What?

- That's it.

Haw did I not think of it?

That's it. That's it.

Brian.

Bri..

Brian.

He left.

And at the end of the half,

Thunder, 31, New Orleans Hornets, 53.

Goad!

Hey! Hey, kid!

Came back here!

I gut a kid an the louse dawn here.

- Move, move, move!

- Hey, kid, come back.

Watch cut.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Stop him!

- Ya! Hey, kid, where you going?

What are you doing? Get back--

Hey. What are you doing?

Whoa!

Hey.

Hey!

Kevin. Kevin.

Hey, Kevin, look, look, l figured it out.

I know why it didn't work last time.

- I gotta hit Rumble with the ball first.

- Well, there he is.

Okay. I put my hands an the ball

and you say:

-"I wish I had your talent."

- I wish I had your talent.

Hard work beats talent

when talent fails to work hard.

Ga!

- Brian.

- We gotta get you out of here.

Oh, he's with me, he's coal.

He's coal. He's coal.

New you know.

Yes! Kevin Durant drills it.

He's hit his last three shuts.

Are you kidding me?

He's making those shots?

I don't know what happened,

but suddenly, everything's changed.

More importantly,

he's making those shuts.

Kevin Durant is back.

Kevin Durant!

Finally, it's a good day

to be a Thunder fan here in Oklahoma City...

...as last night, Kevin Durant

just broke out of his slump...

...scoring 32 big points

in the second half...

...hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer

as the Thunder come back in grand style...

...and beat the Hornets-

Let's go.

Hey, that's my "Warcraft" card.

You can't use it.

That spell doesn't do more damage.

This damage...

- Goad game tonight, Brian.

- What's up, Bri?

Hey.

All right.

So when we charge Admiral Ripsnarl...

...in Heroic Deadmines for the achievement,

I'll run in and grab the agro...

...and the mage can work

on rounding up the Vapors.

I hope Smite's Reaver drops.

Hey, what are our chances?

Uh, I'm getting about 32.33, repeating,

of course, percentage of survival.

- It's risky.

- Yeah, well, I think it's bald.

The other way to go

is Steve uses his dwarf paladin.

Fine. Ignore me.

I know what I did was the jerkiest thing...

...since Leeroy Jenkins screwed his guild

by running in without them.

Och.

So I hope you-.

You had me at Leeroy Jenkins.

Brian?

- Ha!

Can we talk?

Um...

I kind of just sat dawn.

Okay.

Yeah? Thanks.

Isabel, wait up.

The hat new girl

and the star of the basketball team...

at our "Wow" meeting?

That's cooler than when Mitch

solo-tanked Yogg-Saron in Ulduar...

...in his Tier 12 armor set. Han!

I was watching the basketball game

with my dad last night, and I saw you.

Then all the announcers talked about

was haw Kevin suddenly caught fire.

Sn, what you told me was true?

Yeah, but I don't have his talent

anymore.

- Well, what are you gonna dc?

- I don't know.

- I'm gonna be awful.

- Na, you won't.

Yeah, I will.

You'll figure something cut.

This is it. This your moment.

Our moment.

Out in that gym tonight.

Dc you hear that? That's for you.

And you. And me.

Tonight is why I turned down

an opportunity...

...to be an assistant manager at Walmart

six years ago...

...ta be a high school basketball coach

tonight.

And then I turned down a marketing job

at Cisco.

That one I regretted for a while,

but not now.

Nat tonight.

This is what we play far.

- A chance to go to state!

- Yeah!

Brian, wanna say something

to the team?

- Ga ahead.

- Me?

You were the key to our turnaround, kid.

Ga ahead.

Okay.

Well, let's go out there...

...and let's give it our best, okay?

If we win, great. But if we lose, we tried.

We tried.

Yeah, but we're gonna win.

Yeah.

- All right. Bring it in. Bring it in.

Yeah, but if we don't, for some reason...

.sometimes, just going out there

and trying your best is enough.

And getting really, really close,

pretty darn satisfying.

- But we're gonna win.

- Yeah.

Hopefully.

- One, two, three. Eagles!

- Eagles!

Let's go, let's go.

All right!

- Ga, Eagles!

- Came an, Eagles!

Shoot it!

Put it up!

What's going an?

Shunt it, Brian. Brian, shunt, shunt!

- Pick it up.

- Shunt it.

Okay. Bad pass. Bad pass.

Dude, just don't pass to me, all right?

I'm covered.

- You were wide open.

- The dude's guarding me.

I don't know.

It's like he read our playback.

That's it, press him. Come on, Brian.

Shunt it, baby! Shunt it, Brian! Shunt it!

- Grab it!

- What's he doing?

Let's go, let's go.

Oh, nu, nu. Time cut. Time cut.

Get in here. Bring it in. Bring it in.

Came an, came an.

Yeah, yeah, it's a championship.

He's nervous.

Bring it in. Bring it in. Bring it in.

Newall, came here. What's going an?

What's going an?

You're not playing like yourself.

- Coach, who's he playing like?

- Nat himself.

- Nat yourself.

- Yeah, actually, I am.

Na, you're nut.

- I'd bench me.

- What, are you nuts?

You're the best player an this team.

You're the horse that got us here

and we're gonna ride you home.

All right?

Now, go out there

and do anything that doesn't suck.

All in.

- One, two, three. Don't suck!

- Don't suck!

Come on. Loosen up.

You'll be fine. You'll be fine.

- Goad speech.

- Than ks.

All right, hold them, guys, hold them.

Came an. Black it. Black it.

Hold them up. Hold them up. Hey!

Take it, take it, take it.

It's all right. Pull it together, guys.

Pull it together. Let's go.

D-up, now, D-up.

All right, bring it back. Let's go.

Ga, take it.

Hustle. Hustle.

Ga an. Ga an.

Move it around. Move it around.

Came an. That's it.

- Yeah!

- Stuff it in!

And at the end of the

third quarter, the scare is the Drillers, 41...

...and our own Eastview Eagles, 35.

I don't know what to say.

- Coach, you gut something to say?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Forget about the crowds...

...the size of the school,

their fancy uniforms.

Remember what gut you here.

Focus an the fundamentals

that we've gone aver time and time again.

Coach, is that from Hoosiers?

Yeah. You guys see that?

Oh.

Well, then I've gut nothing. Ahem.

Okay, came an. Let's go out there now.

And be good, don't be bad.

- One, two, three. Don't suck!

- Don't suck!

All right, let's go.

Listen, now, this is your time here,

all right?

If you can't play what you had,

play what you got.

Your time, not mine.

Hey. guys, bring it in.

You just saw Hoosiers?

- Is it Old'?

-1986.

I thought Gene Hackman

looked younger.

- Lack, we can still do this.

- Haw?

- You're having the worst game of your life.

- He's right. I'm not an my game.

You can't do it by yourself. All right,

so why don't we do it together as a team?
