0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hey, DW.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Buster Baxter here, reporting for Lakewood Elementary Sports News.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16In ten days, Alan "Brain" Powers is going to face Mighty Mountain's
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Sam "Slam Dunk" Scarborough in the Elwood City
0:01:19 > 0:01:21baskets for charity competition.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Francine, what do you think of his chances?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27A banana? That's the best you could do for a microphone?
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Hey, times are tough. Plus, this is 100% compostable.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So, is Brain going to win?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Slam Dunk definitely has a height advantage,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38but Brain's a real competitor.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Not only does he have terrific aim, but he's cool under pressure.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44This player just never buckles,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47even if everything depended on this one shot,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50the very fate of the world, life as we know it...
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Do you mind?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56See. What did I tell you?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58What happened to your microphone?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Erm, technical difficulties.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03That's a wrap.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Hey, Brain, want to come to the Sugar Bowl with us?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09No, thanks. Our library could really use that money.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I better practise some more.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24OK. This shot is for a brand new computer in the reading room.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28With Brain shooting baskets for us, we're almost guaranteed to win.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yep. What could possibly go wrong?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- CRASH - Ow!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I think we're about to find out.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- The Wheel Deal.- Ow!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Well, the good news is nothing's broken.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The bad news is that one leg has a sprained ankle.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50If it's a grade one lateral ligamentis injury,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I could be back on my feet in a few days.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I'm sorry, Alan, but it's a grade two sprain,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and you have a torn knee ligament in your other leg.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03You're going to need an air cast for your ankle, a knee immobiliser,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and some physical therapy. But, for the next week,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09you do get this nifty set of wheels.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11HE SIGHS
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'm really, really sorry. I thought for sure the peel went in the can.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's OK, Buster. I know it was an accident.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I'm just upset that I won't be able to play
0:03:21 > 0:03:23in the basketball fundraiser.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Yeah, we don't stand a chance against Mighty Mountain now.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29What are they raising money for?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Save the Elwood City squirrels. Oh, what a waste.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Well, see you later, Brain.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36SQUIRREL SQUEAKS Argh!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Sorry!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41So, you play basketball?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Huh? Yeah. I was actually supposed to be in a competition,
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- but that's not going to happen. - Why, cos you're not on two legs?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Tell that to my basketball team. - You're on a basketball team?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Yep, the Wheel Warriors.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00The best wheelchair basketball team in Elwood City.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We're 11 and 0 this season. Want to shoot some hoops with me?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Maybe some other time.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Sure.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Oops.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Ow!- Sorry.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21GIGGLING
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I'm still getting used to this thing.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I'll draw you a schematic.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28It's two rotational points on a single axis, so you have to push
0:04:28 > 0:04:33one wheel forward while pushing the other back, and then you can turn.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Your understanding of physics is impressive.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I was born without the use of my legs, not my brain.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Um, actually, I'd love to hoot some shoops.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- I mean... - SHE GIGGLES
0:04:45 > 0:04:51- I know what you mean. I'm Lydia. - Alan, but my friends call me Brain.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55OK, Brain. Join me tomorrow for a friendly game of horse.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Every time you miss a shot, you get a letter.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- First player to spell "horse" loses. - I should warn you, I'm pretty good.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Great! Maybe I'll be able to learn some pointers.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- H.- My arms must be a little tired.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21O
0:05:25 > 0:05:26R
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Would you like to play using the full Latin name for horse,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Equus ferus caballus? It would give you more chances.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I don't get it. That's the worst I've ever thrown!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Don't worry about it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You're just not used to shooting from this height and angle,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and not being able to use your whole body.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Something tells me that we'd be here for hours before you ever got an H.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51The basketball competition you were supposed to be in, was it a game?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54No, just free throws. The winner of the tournament gets a big donation
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- to the charity of their choice. - So you can still be in it.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01But you saw the way I was shooting. I'm awful now!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I wouldn't say awful. Inept, maybe.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Possibly clumsy, uncoordinated, graceless...- All right already!
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- But you do have a secret weapon. - I do?- Yep, a great tutor.
0:06:14 > 0:06:21- Here. I call it Lydia's Basket Case. - My head is NOT that big.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24We start tomorrow after school, and bring your A game.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Argh!- Increase your release height.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Remember, you're two feet lower than you normally are. Again!
0:06:36 > 0:06:4118, 19... More arm strength means more baskets.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Come on, Brain. Think of the library. Do it for Virgil.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Do it for Proust. That's it!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Better on the velocity, but aim lower.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53168 centimetres is the sweet spot. Again!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58See, the ball's velocity when it leaves your hands
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- is the result of...- Three different velocity vector components!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It all makes perfect sense now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- You sure you don't want me to write this on a piece of paper?- No.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10This way I won't lose it. Just don't press so hard next time.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- It tickles!- In that case...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- BRAIN LAUGHS - Stop!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Quite squirming! You're ruining the Pythagorean Theorem.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- Argh! What's wrong with me? - Nothing. That was really good.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Your speed and angle were perfect. You just missed, that's all.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Now...- I know. Again.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Actually, I was going to ask if you want to get something to eat.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I'm starving! - I know the perfect place.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42All our ice cream is made from milk from a local dairy farm,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and we handpick a lot of the ingred... Huh?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I never noticed that before. That's a pretty big drop.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, yeah. The corner of Elm and Maple -
0:07:52 > 0:07:54it's infamous with me and my team-mates.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Excuse me, could you... Hey, we could use a...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02What's with these people? Can't they see we need help?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I know, but they might be busy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Anyway, you've got to know who and how to ask.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11She doesn't look like she's in a rush.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Excuse me, ma'am. Would you mind helping my friend and me
0:08:14 > 0:08:17down the kerb? I'll show you exactly what to do.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Certainly, dear.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Thanks a lot!- Thank you, ma'am.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Here it is. My mum's ice cream shop.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Uh-oh. The doorway's too narrow for me.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Well, it looks terrific.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I'm really sorry about that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I never knew our shop wasn't wheelchair accessible.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Lots of places aren't. - BELLS RING
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Brain, I've been looking all over for...
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Hey, you're Lydia. I saw you play with the Wheel Warriors.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You were amazing.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Thanks. I'd give you an autograph, but my hands are ketchupy.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Listen, if you're not feeling up to the competition,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I can take over.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I mean, I know I'm not as good at shooting as you, but...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Don't worry about a thing. He's going to cream Mighty Mountain.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- I'm his coach.- Oh, great! Well, see you tomorrow.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Tomorrow?! I forgot that it's tomorrow.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I haven't looked at my calendar in days.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21All I've been doing is playing basketball.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And that's all you should have been doing. Here. Trash can.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Three points.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30See.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Much you have learned, oh, big-headed one.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44BOOING AND HISSING
0:09:44 > 0:09:45What?!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:55 > 0:09:57WHISTLE
0:09:57 > 0:10:00The squirrels will be so happy.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Oh, if only Brain had been able to raise that money.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Yeah, the reading room's computer became so outdated,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12they just had to tear the whole library down.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Huh?
0:10:19 > 0:10:20CHEERING
0:10:20 > 0:10:24It's neck and neck. Brain and Slam Dunk both have 22 baskets.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Wait! Make that 23 for Brain. Francine, comments?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30I think your microphone is melting.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36BUZZER
0:10:39 > 0:10:42You're doing great. Just stay focused and keep your rhythm up.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Oh, no! We're still four points behind.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52BUZZER
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Beat that! Ha!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02I have to make five baskets in one minute! I can't do it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03But I can.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07CHEERING
0:11:13 > 0:11:14BUSTER GASPS
0:11:19 > 0:11:20THEY CHEER
0:11:20 > 0:11:25ALL: Lydia! Lydia! Lydia!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I like the new door. Plenty of room now.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Well, it was the least we could do for the girl who won all that money
0:11:38 > 0:11:40for our library.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43What are you talking about? It was all you. I just helped at the end.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Anyway, basketball actually isn't my strong suit. It's chess.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- No way!- Seriously. I'm nationally ranked.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Want to play?- Well, OK, but I should want you, I'm very good.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Oh, yeah? Where have I heard that before?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05# Every day when you're walking down the street
0:12:05 > 0:12:10# And everybody that you meet Has an original point of view
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- # And I say hey! - Hey!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16# What a wonderful kind of day
