NBA playoffs are exciting, the specific situation is as follows: Thunder 1-1 Nuggets, Warriors 1-1 Timberwolves, Cavaliers 0-2 Pacers, and Celtics 0-2 Knicks. It is often said that the NBA is a stage to test the quality of the stars. In this year's playoffs, many stars such as Alexander, Jokic, Curry, Huazi, and Brunson have shown their superstar style, which meets external expectations! At the same time, there are some stars who stun the world with highlights! For example, Pacers star Halliburton, many people say that he is overrated, but he uses his incredible performances to change his fate again and again, which makes people look at him with admiration. There is another star in the league who is reborn, frequently creating surprises and winning a lot of prizes!
What I want to talk about is Randle of the Timberwolves! Randall was the No. 7 pick in the first round of 2014 and started his NBA career in Angels Los Angeles Lakers. Randall was originally one of the hope stars of the Lakers in the post-Bryant era, but with James aerial landing in the Lakers, Randall took the initiative to leave, looking like "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." Randall's choice was not wrong. He once became the king of New York, was selected into the All-Star lineup three times, and signed his first career-long contract in the offseason in 2021, becoming one of the giants. However, in the eyes of many people, Randall is just a pseudo-giant because his playoff resume is too different from his regular season resume.
During the regular season, Randall was able to play and kill, and averaged 25+10+5 output per game is a daily routine; Randall's only two playoff trips were terrible - in the 20-21 season, Randall made his career playoff debut. After five games, he averaged only 18 points + 11.6 rebounds + 4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 29.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. In the 22-23 season, Randall played 10 playoff games, with a average of only 16.6 points + 8.3 rebounds + 3.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 37.4%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 25.8%. Last season, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and Randall was exempt from fighting cards due to injury! With Brunson's rise and Randle's continued missed in the playoffs, they finally decided to give up Randle and complete the Downs Randle's big deal!
Randall switched to Timberwolves assist Huazi. His performance during the regular season was not outstanding. He played 69 games, averaged 18.7 points + 7.1 rebounds + 4.7 assists per game. His scores and rebounds were new lows since leaving the Lakers! Before the playoffs started, many people were not optimistic about the Timberwolves, which was more or less related to people's disbelief of Randle's sudden enlightenment! But what is the result? Randall really stood up and stood up again and again to save the team. Among them, in the first round of G2, Randall scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists; in the first round of G3, Randall scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists; in the first round of G4, Randall scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists; in the first round of advancement, Randall scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists; in the second round of G2, Randall scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, becoming the second player in the history of the Timberwolves to score at least 20+5+10 in a single game in the playoffs, comparable to Garnett.
Since the playoffs, Randall has played 7 games, averaging 22.1 points + 5.1 rebounds + 5.6 assists, shooting percentage of 48.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 88.6%. Score, assists and three shooting percentages are all record highs in the personal playoff career. Randall continued to go wild and won a lot of prizes. As a teammate, Huazi said bluntly: Randall is a leader, and it is difficult for us to be defeated when he outputs like this; as a mentor, Finch said: Randall encountered a lot of injustice, and we can't win without him; as a fan of the defeated generals, female anchor Mina said bluntly: Randall casts out a shadow on James and Luca, which is quite explosive and impeccable. That's right, Randle can rely on his body to win opponents in a low position like James, and can also deal cards at the top of the arc like Zhu Meng Green. He has indeed completed his self-upgrade!
From the NBA pseudo-giant to the Timberwolves' hot commodity, Randall was reborn and his career was wider and wider. Currently, Randall has two years left in his contract, with a salary of US$31.75 million this season and a player option worth US$29.5 million next season. Randall is in his 30th year of playing. According to the calculations of NBA salary experts, he is qualified to jump out of the player option and test the free market. He can sign up to a five-year, $200 million contract. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, no matter how far the Timberwolves go in the playoffs, Randall has to continue this highlight output. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
