Timberwolves took the Lakers 4:1, and a classic series of games was in the series. Among them, the most important factor of the Wolves was Julius Randall. In this round of the series, Randall averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, shooting percentage of 48.1% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.3%. Both shooting percentages set a new record in his personal career playoffs. After the

series, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch spoke for Randall: "We can't win without Randall. He played a crucial role in the series. As a player who has suffered unfair criticism in his career, he once again proved himself. He maintains the top level every night and is incredibly stable."

, Gobert, as one of the double towers, also Referring to similar words: "After the game, I told Randall that we are the same, your career is disrespectful, and so is me. For us, this year's playoffs is a good opportunity to write our own story. We will do our best to achieve our goals, and I have a clear understanding of how great these brothers are on the team, and I have never doubted them." As Finch and Gobert said, Randall's career is full of controversy. In 2014, the Lakers selected Randle with the seventh pick. Unfortunately, the latter suffered an arm fracture and was reimbursed for the season. Although he showed certain potential after his comeback, he was eventually forced to leave the team due to the fierce competition among newcomers during the Lakers' reconstruction period, when fans called him a "data brush" and a "reckless man". After leaving the Lakers, Randle played for a year with the Pelicans and the Knicks played for five years, but it was still considered as "data outweighed the effect". As a forward player who prefers to hold the ball, the biggest mistake is that he cannot lead the team to win. In the 2020-21 season, Randle averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6 assists per game, was selected as the All-Star and won the Fastest Progressive Player Award, but was controversial for his performance in the playoffs. In the playoffs that year, Randall averaged as low as 29.8%, and it will be difficult to get rid of the title of "brush". Time flies for five years. Randall, who has been in a long time, made a stunning performance in the face of his old protagonist. This time, he finally got the recognition of the fans. All this is just the beginning, and the next one is the second round of tension and excitement.
