"The Basketball World Cup came to an end last week. In the end, the German team defeated the Serbian team to win the championship, achieving their best-ever result in team history.

During this World Cup, the German team's path to victory was not without its challenges. In the Round of 16, there was a moment of discord. During a game against the Slovenian team, the German team fell behind by a large margin early in the match. During a timeout, Dennis Schröder engaged in a heated exchange with his teammate, Daniel Theis, which did not sit well with head coach Henrik.

At that moment, Coach Henrik wanted to discuss tactics, but Schröder seemed to not follow his instructions, leading to a one-on-one argument with Theis. This incident was caught on camera, and Henrik confronted Schröder with strong words, accusing him of not following orders and asking him to sit down, to which Schröder retorted, ""Don't touch me like that!""

After the German team successfully won the championship, Schröder officially apologized to head coach Henrik in an interview and expressed his gratitude. He said, ""Coach, we all want to thank you! You have been coaching us since last year, and we are truly grateful for everything you have done. Last year, we won a bronze medal at the European Championship, and this year we won a gold medal. What kind of medal will we win next year? I dare not even think about it.""

Schröder continued, ""During a game, you pushed me and wanted me to sit on the bench, but later you apologized to me. That meant a lot to me. You are an extraordinary person with high character, and you have assembled such an outstanding team. It's truly unbelievable, and we are very grateful to you!""

Fortunately, this incident did not affect the team's internal relationships. In the 8 games of the World Cup, Schröder averaged 19.1 points and 6.1 assists, with shooting percentages of 43.5% from the field, 32.7% from three-point range, and 84.4% from the free-throw line. He was undoubtedly named the World Cup MVP."
