In the second half of February and the March schedule, the Warriors maintained a high winning rate, especially when facing strong teams in the league that competed for regular season rankings.
This includes the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers and many other strong teams.
The Warriors are getting closer and closer to breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins and the best season in history.
On April 1, the Warriors played away against the San Antonio Spurs. This was the last meeting between the Warriors and the Spurs this season.
In the previous three games, the Warriors had a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. The Spurs are one of the few teams that can bring defeat to the Warriors.
The Spurs are actually quite strong this season, with a winning rate of 82%. Just behind the Warriors, their record is far ahead of the Cavaliers, who are first in the Eastern Conference and have a winning rate of 69%. Not surprisingly, they will also win 65 games at the end of the regular season.
The victory above.
Everyone knows that the confrontation between these two teams with a winning rate of over 80% can be regarded as Mars hitting the Earth!
The Spurs lost 2 games at the Warriors' home court before, and came back to win a game. The two teams currently have a 2:1 win. This time at home, as long as they can win the next game, the two teams can play in the regular season.
It's a tie. If they meet in the playoffs, at least they won't be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
However, the Spurs thought well, but the reality was cruel.
The Warriors, aiming to break the Bulls' 72-win record, struck hard and showed no mercy. After three quarters, the point difference between the two teams had reached more than 20 points, and the largest gap even exceeded 30 points.
The huge point difference once made Spurs fans doubt their lives.
The Spurs are already very strong this season. The twin interior towers of Duncan and Aldridge are considered the top configuration in the league. Parker and Ginobili are still strong. The depth of the bench is not weaker than that of the Warriors. With Mills,
Green, West and other players are in charge.
More importantly, Kawhi Leonard has completely grown up, averaging 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season. He is the absolute core force of the Spurs on both offense and defense.
Unfortunately, in this game, Leonard faced off against Wang Feng. With Wang Feng guarding him the whole time, Leonard only made 6 of 15 shots and scored only 15 points in the game.
Leonard's offensive technical style is relatively retro, mostly focusing on mid-range shooting, which is exactly restrained by Wang Feng's defensive shock badge. In addition, at this time, Leonard is not the top striker with strong offensive ability a few years later.
, the impact was extremely obvious.
Of course, when facing Leonard directly, Wang Feng didn't get much benefit. After all, the opponent was the league's top perimeter defender. Wang Feng was completely suppressed offensively. Leonard's long arms were waving back and forth, making it difficult for Wang Feng to win.
It was very difficult for Wang Feng to connect the ball. He only got 8 shots and hit 3 goals in the game, and failed to score in double figures.
The two forwards are hurting each other like a pair. Of course, it is a gain for the Warriors. After all, Wang Feng is only the third scoring point in the Warriors. The team also has Curry and Thompson, but Leonard is the Spurs.
Wang Feng, the main force in the tough battle, can form a one-for-one situation with the opponent, which is enough for the Warriors.
Curry scored 33 points, Thompson scored 26 points, and the two backcourts combined to score 59 points!
As soon as the third quarter ended, there was no more suspense in the game.
110::92, the Spurs lost at home by 18 points and were helpless.
Even the Spurs, whose record is second only to the Warriors, lost. Which team in this league can stop the Warriors?
The answer is no!
Time has come to mid-April, the NBA regular season schedule has officially ended, and all team games have been completed.
With two games left before the end of the regular season, the Warriors have already tied the Bulls' record of 72 wins. In the last two games, the Warriors' opponents were the Grizzlies and Timberwolves.
Both teams are desperately trying to prevent the Warriors from breaking the historical record. This kind of record is an honor for the Warriors, but it is a symbol of shame for the other 29 teams in the league. After all, it means that in front of the Warriors
, other teams are vulnerable, so the other team keeps winning.
But strenuous resistance had no effect.
The Warriors won these two games steadily, setting their regular season record at 74 wins and 8 losses.
This record also officially surpassed the Bulls, setting a new regular season win record.
Wang Feng is already very satisfied with this result.
Originally, Wang Feng's replacement of Barnes would bring improvements to the Warriors' offense and defense, and the team would have had a higher number of wins. After all, the Warriors version of Barnes also won 73 games. Wang Feng's arrival only made the team more successful.
One more win, plus a record of 35 consecutive wins.
However, Wang Feng had no choice. In the second half of the schedule, Warriors players often suffered minor injuries. Curry, Thompson, Green and even Wang Feng were all absent.
This is an uncontrollable situation.
Breaking a record is something that is hard to come by. Not only does the team need to be strong, but the players must also stay healthy. The schedule and the opponent's status are all very important!
The right time, favorable location, and people are indispensable.
The simplest example is in another time and space in the summer of 2016, Durant joined the Warriors. The five-star Warriors lineup was obviously stronger than that in the 15-16 season, but in the 16-17 season, the Warriors only scored 67 points in the regular season.
win.

This incredible record was something no one could have imagined before the start of the regular season! Except for time travelers like Wang Feng.
The regular season is officially over, which means the playoffs are coming.
In the Western Conference, the Warriors lead the Western Conference with 74 wins and 8 losses, followed closely by the Spurs with 67 wins and 15 losses. The Thunder are in third place, followed by the Clippers, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies and Minor League Baseball.
