Calmness is just for show.
Zhang Hao was also restless during the game, but during halftime, he identified an issue with their Lakers team—eager to win.
The 16-game winning streak brought not only immense glory but also a shift in mentality.
Although everyone might say, "I'm aware of our strength," in reality, even Mr. Zhang didn't have a clear understanding of their own team's abilities.
However, since he could calm down more easily than others, after playing half a game against the Warriors, he clearly sensed one thing—his teammates had become arrogant!
Teammates all thought they should easily win against the Warriors, and even the coach believed so, which led to anxiety when they were behind at halftime.
Because in many of their past games, they had maintained an all-game advantage, except for a few matches where they were dominantly winning without resistance.
And those few games involved superstars, finding reasons for a tightly contested match.
