As soon as mid-March passed, there were only a dozen games left in the regular season, and the situation for the playoffs was gradually becoming clearer.

The suspense of the West this season is smaller, the team can be described as strong and weak, the top four are basically stable, and the next four spots are not clear for the time being, but there are only four teams competing for the Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Rockets, Grizzlies and Jazz.

In the East, the Cavaliers and Raptors are relatively stable, basically locking the top two in the East.

But the third to tenth places can be described as very confusing.

The Heat, Hawks, Celtics and Hornets are in slightly better shape, but they must be stable to enter the latter games of the playoffs, while the Pacers, Pistons, Bulls, Wizards, not surprisingly, two outs will be produced among them.

Of course, because of the Warriors, the outside is paying more attention to the regular season win record, after all, the Bulls who hold the record are the last world team, although that sounds like an exaggeration.

The Warriors have 63 wins, can they still get 10 wins?

In the last dozen games, don't they really keep a low profile, and fans who follow the league have a kind of impatient anticipation.

They have already won 63 and are getting closer to the record.

But there were still some problems with the team, it was their weakest interior line, Bogut and Azeri were injured and could not play, and the Warriors had to be forced to start a small lineup.

On March 21, the Warriors played the Timberwolves away.

The Timberwolves are hopeless in the playoffs, and they're now mostly working on young players.

That being said, the Timberwolves' young strength is not too bad.

In particular, the Warriors have no interior line, and the Timberwolves' two interior lines, Towns and Dieng, can attack and defend.

In the face of a lineup that is somewhat unrestrictive to each other, the Warriors' defense must be focused.

The opponent's outside Rubio, Wiggins and LaVine, the Warriors are selective Rubio, after all, Rubio is not good at shooting like Rondo.

But what the Warriors didn't think about was that Rubio was hot today, hitting consecutive shots outside the three-point line in the first quarter, which also caught the Warriors off guard.

And on the Downs side, it is also difficult to restrain it.

The Warriors are letting Barnes start against Towns, which is really embarrassing this buddy.

In fact, Draymond Green is more suitable to defend, but the Timberwolves also have an interior line closer to the basket.

As for why it's not Zhang Xiaotian, it's because Barnes's status in the team has dropped a lot this season, and he has to do dirty work, even if Zhang Xiaotian defends better, the team will not let him consume too much energy in the previous games, and it will be counted at the critical moment.

The Rubio Warriors noticed that he couldn't continue to score like that, but Towns had a harder time solving it.

However, the Timberwolves were the first to abandon the tactics of the two big men because they couldn't keep up defensively.

Anyway, the Timberwolves don't care too much about winning or losing, they just hone their young players.

The Warriors are still in a multi-player rotation, everyone has scored, and they are slowly bringing the Timberwolves into their rhythm.

When the main team was relatively relaxed, they still overtook the opponent by 3 points at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Warriors tightened up, but failed to succeed because of Rubio's presence.

Rubio is also young, but he has a very methodical approach to court experience, limiting Curry well while also using his playmaking skills to bring the team's offense up.

The Timberwolves' defense is just average, and the Warriors are not without opportunities, but Barnes is a little uncomfortable with the starters now, and his shooting is always iron.

Although the rotation players on the Timberwolves' side did not perform, the main players performed well, and the scores of the two sides were tied again.

The youngsters have a lot of mood swings, they can't make the playoffs, but they can fight like this with the Warriors, and they're excited to win the game.

At this time, the Warriors finally had a sense of urgency.

It's not okay to lose in a row, not only because of the record, but also because of the face.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian and Wiggins began a showdown.

Wiggins is talented and physical, but not strong enough and his shooting fluctuates a bit.

Wiggins was a little unhappy with the Cavaliers last season, and certainly didn't like Zhang Xiaotian.

On the court in the last quarter, Wiggins was full of confidence and singled Zhang Xiaotian.

The cross dribble relied on the lateral speed to throw off Zhang Xiaotian's mid-shot, and Zhang Xiaotian would definitely not give the opponent a chance.

Between offense and defense, the two sides made a physical contact, Wiggins was the one who took the initiative to exert the force, but he suffered a loss, and the next shot did not feel almost iron.

Zhang Xiaotian hit the other party in a similar way, but he just pulled it up after pressing one step, and Wiggins didn't have anything to do at all.

The Timberwolves attacked again, Wiggins was holding back his strength, this time he crossed steps and half turned around and pushed inside, and then turned around and wiped inside, the technical move was really good.

Zhang Xiaotian's reaction was very direct, he directly exerted force while the opponent turned around, Wiggins was squeezed and stumbled, and when he subconsciously protected the ball, he found that it was too late, Zhang Xiaotian directly hit the ball with a knife in one hand, and the steal was successful.

The confrontation between Wiggins and Zhang Xiaotian, Wiggins was defeated.

The champion and the undrafted pick can be seen from this aspect, how good Zhang Xiaotian's growth has been in recent seasons.

The Timberwolves had to improve and trade Rubio and Towns back, but the Warriors were unhurried and waited two rounds to gradually bring Curry and Klay Thompson up.

After Towns came up, the Timberwolves did make moves on the offensive end, but that's it.

They had to play against the Warriors and had to play the defensive mind.

Not to mention, the Timberwolves' lineup is excited, the defensive reaction is quite fast, and when Curry's three-point shooting is not very accurate, they can barely play against the Warriors.

But the Warriors are when the Splash Brothers are not playing very well, they are still a strong team, their defense is first-class, Zhang Xiaotian can play with the ball, Draymond Green can also score, even if it doesn't explode, it can press the Timberwolves who are a little weak on the offensive end.

Entering the final two minutes, Draymond Green hit two rebound baskets, and the Timberwolves' defense only relied on a stream of blood, and in the Warriors' tireless off-ball running, the gaps became more and more.

After Zhang Xiaotian hit a strong three-pointer, the Timberwolves finally couldn't stand it.

The Timberwolves also tried a three-pointer in the final minute, but after LaVine, Rubio and Wiggins hit the iron, they could only watch the defeat come.

They may grow next season, but it's still time to learn their lessons.

With 64 wins, a great record, the Warriors started the countdown.

What's more, they have only lost six games and they still have a chance to make mistakes.

According to the team's efficiency, as long as they don't collapse in the end, breaking the record is a sure thing.

Will they collapse, except for Kuroko, no one can see that the warriors have any possibility of going wrong.
