It's probably because they're afraid there aren't enough technical fouls, just two blows and you're out of the game.
Zhang Hao has now completely calmed down and can totally understand such a situation.
But he wants to win even more now!
On the other hand, Malone felt he had lost a lot of face...
The indifferent look on that rookie's face made him extremely angry!
However, he is a superstar, not a fool. To swap with a rookie is something he'd be foolish to act upon first.
Also, the rookie's strength... if it were a player with a similar physique, let alone tangling or using an arm to press Malone's chin, they wouldn't even have room to retaliate in such a conflict...
The referee blew the whistle for the game to resume, and both coaches knew their players were in a calm state, so no substitutions were made; they continued the game.
