On July 15, Beijing time, Raptors new signing Dennis Schroder was interviewed by a local reporter in Toronto, and the crazy connotation of the words was LeBron James, former teammate of the Lakers, which caused an uproar on the Internet.
Speaking about what kind of changes coming to the Raptors will make, Schroder said: "I'm the kind of straight guy, I've really worked with some great players in the last four or five years, but I'm a point guard after all, and this year I want more possession and want to be myself. ”
Schroder's implication is that he has not had the ball as a point guard for the past 4 years, and Schroder has spent more than half of these 4 years with the Lakers. Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Schroder is connotating James's ball hegemony.
It is worth mentioning that on July 13, James said this at ESPY's awards ceremony: "Listen, you can love me or hate me, but one thing you must do is respect me, appreciate the way I approach the game, and everything I have given to the sport." "It's a bit unexpected to be picked up by a former teammate in less than two days!
For Schroeder's controversial remarks, netizens are seriously polarized, and those who support Schroeder have said:
"It's a hint that James, the point guard can't get the ball."
"The ball is in James's hands, and when it comes to the little black hand, it is the last 0.1 seconds, it is strange that people can play well!"
"James scrapped his teammates and hammered, ball bully behavior!"
"That's why teammates don't respect James!"
"Why does James always ask for respect, because no one respects him!" ...
And against Schroeder, there are also many people who support James:
"Come and spray, let me say first, James dominated the ball, causing Schroeder to leave with a big contract!"
"So quickly forgot about the Celtics' five million buy, and it took a few months to sell it?"
"It seems that the Raptors have nothing to pursue anymore!"
"Without James, who knows Blackie?"
"Every teammate around James will benefit a lot, except for the cancer!" ...
Of course, Schroder also discussed the prospects and hopes for the Raptors, saying: "I feel like the height and reach, defense and style of play of my teammates right now are great situations for me, and when I was the starting point guard, I could make sure that the young players played well. Not to mention that we have a lot of talented players, like Scotty Barnes, (OG) Anunoby, I think we can play competitively, and that's what I care about. ”
As previously reported, Schroder recently agreed to a 2-year, $26 million contract with the Raptors. Last season, Schroder played in 66 regular-season games for the Lakers, averaging 12.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. Just after signing a big contract, the connotation of the old club is indeed embarrassing!
