The intention of the Warriors' management not wanting to continue winning was very clear, so Zhang Hao felt a lot of pressure during his preparation, feeling certain that the opposing team would target him as fiercely as the Grizzlies did.
However, after the game started and Zhang Hao shouted to Joe Smith, "I will outscore you by 10 points," the situation he imagined did not appear.
The Warriors played earnestly, relying on their strength to compete hard, without any sense of not wanting to win...
This is quite normal; the management wanting to tank has nothing to do with the players.
In an era where salaries are rapidly increasing, going from a maximum contract of about 3 million US Dollars to billion-dollar contracts, only a foolish player would not play well because the team wants to tank.
