Last year s deal was a win-win situation! Towns New York welcomed Zhiling, and Randall also proved his strength in Minnesota

Last offseason, the Knicks, Timberwolves and Hornets reached a three-party deal, but the Hornets were a matchmaker, mainly the Knicks and Timberwolves. The main insiders of these two sides exchanged clubs. Randle moved to Minnesota, and Towns left his parent team, who had been playing for many years, and crossed Apple City. At that time, the deal was questioned by the outside world. It was believed that the Timberwolves used Towns, the All-Star insider, to exchange Randle's data brush for the data, but until now, it seems that the Knicks and Timberwolves should be a win-win situation.

Downs secured the core position of the team's inside line in the regular season, averaging 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Although the data in the playoffs declined, averaging 19.1 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, he played much tougher than before in the Timberwolves' playoffs. In the first two matches of the Celtics' semi-finals, Towns got a double-double, helping the Knicks take a 2-0 lead, and there is a high chance that he can help the team to enter the Eastern Conference Finals. Even though Towns was questioned during his time with the Timberwolves, considering that he was selected for 5 All-Stars and was selected for 2 Best Third Teams, at least compared with Randle, I believe most of them will choose to stay the former.

As for Randle, who joined the Timberwolves, after the deal occurred, fans were disgusted with the team that entered the Western Conference Finals last season. However, this season, the Timberwolves not only entered the playoffs again, but also directly swept the Lakers in the first round, against the Warriors in the semi-finals. With Curry injured, the Timberwolves were not without the chance to kill this popular team again and enter the Western Conference Finals stage again. The key to this is Randle's performance. As the team's playoff scoring champion, Huazi can guarantee the team's lower limit, but if the team wants to hit a higher upper limit, Randall's role is crucial.

Although he has the ability to shoot outside like Towns, Randall's offensive stability is indeed worse than the former, but Randall's destructive power to hit the basket is better. With the Warriors' G2, Randall continued to carry the banner of offense and organizational ends, scoring 10 of 17 shots in the game, scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, sharing a lot of organizational pressure for Reed and Huazi. Previously, Randall's data were relatively average in the Knicks' two playoffs, especially the shooting star, both of which exceeded 40%. However, in these seven playoffs this season, Randall averaged 22.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 36 minutes of playing time, with shooting percentages of 48.6%, 34.4% and 88.6% respectively in the three events. The data has indeed improved to a certain extent compared to the regular season's 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists.

Since there is no reliable inside line in the Warriors, Randall can take advantage of his misalignment advantage in this round of the series to gain the upper hand. G2 defeated the Warriors by 24 points, which has revitalized the morale of the team. If Curry still watches the wall next, then the Timberwolves will indeed have the opportunity to get 1 to chase 4 and cross this mountain, so as to enter the Western Conference Finals again. If this year's finals are a showdown between the Knicks and the Timberwolves, then the confrontation between Towns and Randall should be highly anticipated.
