21+7+11! The 30-year-old Laker abandoned his son and burst into heartbreaking Warriors: Being a powerful weapon for the championship, impacting a 100 million yuan fat contract

On May 9, in the second game of the Western Conference semi-finals, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 117-93 at home, tying the total score of the series to 1-1. Edwards once left the game with an ankle injury, but eventually came back, scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in the game. The second leader Randall is the Timberwolves' number one winner in this battle. After Huazi left the field with an injury in the second quarter, it was Randall who led the Timberwolves to defend their advantage and stabilized the situation.

Randle played very high offensive efficiency in the first half, made 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored the highest 16 points of the two teams, with 4 rebounds and 4 assists, without any mistakes. In the second quarter, he scored 13 points in a single quarter. In the second half, Randall continued to contribute to the Timberwolves on the offensive end. Huazi resurrected in the second half and scored consecutively, while Randall showed his organizational ability in the second half. He gave 7 assists in two quarters. He assisted 11 times in a single game in this game and turned into an organizational forward.

Randall's performance in this playoffs exceeded many people's expectations. In the first round of the Lakers, Randall was the Timberwolves' promotion contributor. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting 48.1% from the field, 39.3% from three-point shooting percentage and 83.9% from free throw percentage.

Longall played very fiercely against the Lakers' five-squad lineup, and he often scored points with the ball. That's right, he has to rely on his physical advantage to crush the Lakers' defense line.

In this game, Randall also played his physical advantage, making 10 of 17 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and making all three free throws. Randle scored a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, all the other goals were completed at the basket. In the Western Conference semi-finals, Randall averaged 21.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.0%.

Landall is definitely no worse than the Knicks' Towns in terms of his performance in the playoffs. Towns averaged 19.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in the playoffs this year, shooting 49.6%, three-point shooting percentage 44.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 92.0%. Granted, Towns had the advantage in rebounds, but Randall had the advantage in scoring and assists.

What's more, from the perspective of the game, Randall played harder than Towns. He dared to take the ball and attack the basket and scored points. In addition, Randall's annual salary is much lower than Downs.

Randall's annual salary this season is $32.7 million, and next season is a player option of $30.94 million. He is likely to break out of the contract and seek a long contract. Towns entered his four-year, $224 million contract, with an annual salary of $49.2 million this season. In the summer of 2024, the Timberwolves used Towns to trade Randall and Divinchenzo for the Knicks, and was criticized by countless people. In most people's opinion, the Timberwolves made the Western Conference Final last season, and this move was to destroy the Great Wall by themselves in order to save some money.

Unexpectedly, Randall proved his worth in the playoffs. Randall's contract is US$117 million in advance with the Knicks in 2021. Randall's playoff performance is worthy of this contract. Since the playoffs, Randall's market value has undoubtedly increased a lot, and it is no problem for him to get a contract worth 100 million yuan this summer. It can even impact contracts with annual salary of more than US$40 million.

Randle debuted with the Lakers and later played for the Pelicans and the Knicks. He used to be the core of the Knicks and now he is the second-in-command in the Timberwolves. This year is his third time playing in the playoffs and has achieved his best playoff performance in his career. The outbreak of the contract year will help him attack the next fat contract. Of course, because Randall remains in a stable state, the Timberwolves have a great situation in this round of the series. Once the Timberwolves enter the Western Conference Final again, Randall's market value will further increase.
