Average 24+6+6! Average to Cole s top forward line in chasing his dreams, Ball Brother: The Lakers asked him to have a blue-collar job

4:18pm, 20 May 2025【Basketball】

On May 20, many players have made their mark in this year's playoffs, such as the Knicks' dual-core Towns and Brunson. Brunson is now the king of the final quarter in the playoffs. Garnett praised him as the top five in the league. Towns has also changed his previous soft spots in the West and has now become one of the toughest inside players in the league. The duo has the opportunity to help the Knicks bring the championship this season.

In addition, Edwards and Randall of the Timberwolves have also proved themselves. No one is optimistic about Edwards being able to lead the Timberwolves to success before the start of the playoffs. He believes that the success of the Timberwolves last season was more because of the double towers of Gobert and Towns. Edwards proved himself in the playoffs. He not only can compete with Doncic, but also can provide stable output when the team needs to score. So far, Edwards averaged 26.5 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

However, Edwards may not be the key to reaching the Western Conference Finals this season, Randall is the key. He played a very important role in the first and second rounds. So far, Randall can average 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 50.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.5%, and averaging 1.9 three-pointers per game. He relies on his excellent inside damage and outside firepower to make the Lakers and Warriors miserable inside.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves in the first round was because they had no choice but to deal with Randall and could not defend themselves at all, and the Warriors were the same. After being eliminated by the Timberwolves, Cole talked about the reasons for losing. He once said: Randall is incredible. He played great in this series, and his progress is huge, and we can't defend him at all. The Dream Chasing of Winning the Best Defensive Player also talked about Randle on his personal podcast.

He said: In the match against Randall, I lost the match. He is one of the most difficult players I have ever encountered in my career playoffs. He pays tribute to him taking off the hat. This time he is indeed a top-notch skill. It was like the finals against the Raptors in 2019. The last time Sika crushed me, and this conversation with Randall reminded me of that series. All defenders of the level of Zhui Meng were defeated by Randall.

Perhaps now, everyone will not think that the Timberwolves and the Knicks lost the deal. This is a win-win deal. Connery relies on excellent operations. Not only did he save the Timberwolves 40 million, but the team is still strong. Randle is no worse than Towns now. Speaking of Randall, I guess many fans are familiar with it. The Lakers in the post-Bryant era won Randall with the No. 7 pick in the first round in 2014.

After joining the Lakers, Randle did not get much chance in his rookie season. Although he gradually relied on his toughness and talent to prove himself, he did not get recognized by the Lakers. In the offseason in 2018, the Lakers got James, and they did not choose to renew Randle because they believed that they had found the answer on the front line. It turned out that James did help the Lakers succeed, but it was too wise to give up Randle at the beginning.

Today, when participating in a show, Brother Qiu talked about his experience working with Randle in the Lakers. He said: The Lakers were too disrespectful to him back then, and now you can see how outstanding his performance is. He can do everything, he can do everything, and the ridiculous thing I heard when I was in that Lakers was that the team had us all sit together at the beginning of the season, discussing our roles in the locker room, and when it was Randle's turn, they actually said that you were just responsible for pick-and-roll and rebounding, and nothing else had to be done.

Brother Qiu continued: I was thinking about what to do at that time? I couldn't help but speak at that time. He is one of our best players. How could he just let him do this? We've had a great relationship since then. If it is true as Ball Brother said, it can only be said that the Lakers management was too stupid at that time. They had a lot of talents at that time, such as Ingram, Ball Brother, Kuzma, etc., but now, Randall seems to be more worthy of training than these people.

After leaving the Lakers, Randall proved himself. He joined the Pelicans and played star-level data and was recruited by the Knicks. He became the boss of the team with his outstanding performance, and helped the Knicks to enter the playoffs and was also selected as the All-Star. But in the end, the Knicks did not keep him because he performed inefficiently in the playoffs. Randall has solved this problem and has become one of the best power forwards in the league.

The reason why the Lakers and Warriors can't beat the Timberwolves is because their five-squad lineup cannot prevent Randle. They have strength and athletic ability and are younger than you, and they really cannot prevent it. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Timberwolves and Randall now?
