A narrow loss to the Jazz on the road is not a bad thing for the Warriors, but a good thing.

During the winning streak, head coach Nelson found that some young players were a little distracted and had mental problems.

Moreover, many problems exposed in the game were covered up by the joy of winning streak, causing some people in the team to selectively forget and fail to solve the problems in the first time.

Originally, some problems were exposed in some previous games, but Sun Yi relied on his personal ability to win the game, which caused the Warriors players not to take it to heart.

After this defeat, the Warriors really started to take it seriously.

Coach Nelson specially held a tactical meeting to discuss the problems that occurred in the previous game.

After some brainstorming, part of the problem was solved.

At the same time, Nelson corrected the mentality of some players at the meeting.

If it was during a winning streak, many players might not buy it, but now that they have lost, they all nodded like little chickens to show their understanding.

It can be said that this meeting perfectly achieved its set goals.

…

…

After the Warriors' undefeated streak was broken, the only undefeated team in the league was gone.

Although the Warriors lost, it is still very difficult for other teams to catch up. The Warriors still firmly occupy the first place in the league.

The Warriors didn't pay attention to such false honors.

If this season is not a shortened season, then they can still try to achieve the best record in the regular season.

The only goal of the Warriors now is to keep all members healthy and enter the playoffs. They will not deliberately pursue results. In the remaining games, they will take turns and rest when they need to.

Even if the Warriors rest players on a large scale, their strength cannot be underestimated.

If other teams want to win against the remnant Warriors, they have to shed their skin to crack this tough nut.

Therefore, in the March game, the Warriors' record did not decline. Instead, they achieved an excellent record of 13 wins and 4 losses, still ranking first in the league.

At the same time, during these games, Sun Yi triggered two temporary tasks and completed them both.

He obtained 1 purple sneaker fragment, 1 purple wrist guard fragment, 1 badge fragment, 200 advanced nutrient solution, and 2.5 million training value of 10x training bonus card.

Although the training value is still far from the system upgrade and cannot be upgraded to improve strength, the equipment fragments have been collected and are almost the same.

Therefore, for the next competition in April, Sun Yi's goal for himself is to trigger and complete system tasks as much as possible.

As long as you are lucky and collect all the equipment fragments, you can improve your strength before the playoffs arrive.

At this point, the competition in March is over, and the ranking battle in April is coming!

…

On April 1st, April Fool's Day, the NBA official website announced the status of major awards won in March.

The Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month was won by Magic rookie Nikola Vucevic.

After Vucevic was traded to the Magic, he was trained as a core player by the team and received sufficient playing time.

This guy seized the opportunity, played brilliant statistics, and won the trust of the head coach and management in one fell swoop.

It can be said that as long as Vucevic does not suffer major injuries, his subsequent career will be smooth sailing.

The Western Conference Rookie of the Month was regained by Irving, solidifying his position at the top of the list of best rookies.

The Eastern Conference Player of the Month was won by Paul Pierce, breaking James' monopoly on the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.

In the March game, Pierce averaged 22.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, leading the Celtics to a record of 12 wins and 5 losses.

Although Pierce's statistics were quite average and not outstanding, the Eastern Conference couldn't find a better player than him, so he was passed over by this guy.

From this we can see how difficult it is to win the Player of the Month award for consecutive years.

There is no suspense about the Western Conference Player of the Month. Sun Yi once again won this honor.

In the March game, he averaged 32.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 8.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, leading the Warriors to an excellent record of 13 wins and 3 losses.

Such explosive data has allowed Sun Yi to consolidate his position at the top of the regular season MVP list.

James and Kobe, who are ranked second and third, want to overtake Sun Yi and reach the top, so they can only hope to produce epic data in the April game.

There isn't much time left for them both!

After the various honors in March have been announced, the April card battle has officially begun!

…

…

As the games begin in April, the entire league is like a dynamite keg about to explode, especially in the Western Conference, which is becoming increasingly fierce.

The 10th-ranked Mosaics and the 9th-ranked Clippers did not give up directly and fought hard to get a playoff spot.

And teams that have entered the playoff ranks also dare not relax.

The eighth-ranked Jazz must not only win with all their strength and seize the seventh position, but also prevent being stolen by the teams behind them.

Just because the No. 1 Warriors team is simply too strong.

If they meet these guys in the first round of the playoffs, the Jazz will definitely be in trouble.

The seventh-ranked Nuggets don't dare to take it lightly, and they don't want to fall to eighth and face the Warriors in the first round.

The sixth-ranked Grizzlies and fifth-ranked Mavericks have to work hard to maintain their rankings.

The fourth-ranked Lakers don't want to face the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs, try their best to win and move up one spot, or fall to sixth place.

The third-ranked Thunder will not give the Lakers a chance and will try their best to maintain their ranking. At the same time, they want to overtake the Spurs and gain home court advantage.

The second-ranked Spurs team is more Buddhist. They cannot catch up with the first-ranked Warriors and just want to maintain their second position.

The Warriors, currently ranked first in the league, don't have much pressure.

They have only one goal in April, and that is to ensure the first place in the league while ensuring the health of all members.

Therefore, in the remaining 16 games, the Warriors selectively rested some veterans and did not show their full strength.

Even so, the Warriors still have more wins than losses.

With 12 regular season games left, the Warriors have secured the first place in the league with a record of 50 wins and 4 losses.

Without the pressure of record, the Warriors have stepped up their rotation.

"Mad scientist" Nelson even used the remaining regular season as a training ground, frantically experimenting with all kinds of weird lineups and tactics.

This crazy move also came at a price, as they experienced the only three-game losing streak of the season.

After that, the Warriors quickly adjusted and got back on track, winning nine consecutive games to end all games this season.

At this point, the 2011~2012 NBA regular season is over.

In terms of record: The Warriors ranked first in the league with a record of 59 wins and 7 losses.

Ranking:

The top eight teams in the Eastern Conference are: Bulls, Heat, Numbers, Pacers, Knicks, Celtics, Hawks, and Cavaliers.

The top eight teams in the Western Conference are: Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, Thunder, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Clippers.

The matchups for the first round of the playoffs will then be announced.

First round of the Eastern Conference: Bulls vs. Cavaliers, Heat vs. Hawks, Numbers vs. Celtics, Pacers vs. Knicks.

Western Conference first round: Warriors vs. Clippers, Spurs vs. Nuggets, Lakers vs. Grizzlies, Thunder vs. Mavericks.
