Who still questioned Connor's use of Towns for Randall and Devin? Who thinks Randle is not good at fighting tough battles? On May 13, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 117-110 away. Randall continued his hot performance. He made 11 of 21 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Randall once again became the Timberwolves' winning contributor. The Timberwolves have already led the Warriors 3-1 in the series and entered the Western Conference Finals with one foot.
Randall's performance in the playoffs this year is definitely no worse than Towns who played for the Knicks, and he even performed more fiercely and comprehensively. Towns averaged 19.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in the playoffs, shooting 46.7% from the field, 40.6% from three-point shooting and 91.7% from free throws. Randall averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the first round, shooting percentage of 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.3%, and free throw percentage of 83.9%. In the Western Conference semi-finals, he averaged 24.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game, shooting 48.6% from the field, 28.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 95.5% from free throw percentage.
Randle's rebounds are not as good as Downs, but his score and assists are worse than Downs.
It is worth mentioning that Randall ranked first in the second round of the playoff assists list. It has to be said that Randle's outstanding playoff performance was a big surprise for the Timberwolves. Towns has a maximum salary of 224 million yuan.
Last summer, when the Timberwolves made this deal, many people questioned Timberwolves CEO Connery, thinking that Randall and Towns were incomparable. The Timberwolves just wanted to save money and ruin the team's good situation.
Unexpectedly, Randall became completely in the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, Randle continued to attack the Lakers' defense line, as if he was entering a no-man's land. In the Western Conference semi-finals, he often faces defensive expert Draymond Green, and he can even perform efficiently and stably. The Timberwolves won three consecutive games and his performance is crucial.
In the second game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, Randall contributed 24 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists. He not only made stable output on the offensive end, but also ranked first in the team in terms of assists, and constantly created scoring opportunities for his teammates. In the third game, Randle took a step further, scoring 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, triple-double, which was the first triple-double in his playoff career. In this battle, Randall's offensive firepower was even more fierce, killing 31 points. Randall has scored 25+ points in the Timberwolves three times in the playoffs, while he only scored 25+ points in the Knicks once. In this battle, Edwards scored 30 points. Randall and Edwards made the third time in the Timberwolves' playoffs history and scored 30+. The last time was Garnett and Kassel in 2004.
"He's cool, it's fun to have Randle, he's really awesome." Edwards praised Randle after the game.
The situation of the championship in the playoffs this year is very chaotic. Both the Celtics and the Cavaliers in the East were 1-3 behind, and the team leaders were injured. The Western Nuggets and the Thunder fought hard to get apart. The Timberwolves' hope of winning the championship has increased a lot invisibly.
Randle debuted with the Lakers that year, but the team did not renew his contract with him in the end. He chose to go to the Pelicans and then to the Knicks. Randall transformed into an All-Star player. Now Randall has the opportunity to hit a maximum salary contract with his outstanding performance in the playoffs. He has the right to jump out of his contract this summer and earn about $31 million a year next season.
Timberwolves reporter Joan Klautzinski said Randall is expected to jump out of the offseason and become a free agent before signing a long-term contract with the Timberwolves. Currently, both the Timberwolves and Randall focus on the playoffs. The two sides will negotiate after the end of the season. The Timberwolves need to prepare a big contract for him.
