The Lakers were so successful. Why did the Timberwolves forward player suddenly fail to accurately fight the Warriors?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G1, the Golden State Warriors, ranked 7th in the Western Conference in the regular season, defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, ranked 6th in the Western Conference in the regular season, successfully completed the following draw. After this game, the Warriors also widened the total score of the series to 1-0 and successfully regained the home advantage.

In this game, the Timberwolves started power forward Julius Randle, who performed well in the first round of the series against the Los Angeles Lakers, can be regarded as a significant decline. Randall played 30 minutes and 36 seconds in the game, made 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. He also had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Randall's offensive efficiency was a mess. He did not show his due scoring ability. His feel outside the three-point line was also very bad, and he did not do very well in making mistakes. Randall's performance on the defensive end is quite average, and he has no way to make a bigger breakthrough on the defensive end. Overall, Randall's performance on the court was simply terrible and he did not perform at his level at all, which is also an important factor in the team's defeat in this game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Randall made a total of 69 appearances in 82 games, averaging 32.3 minutes per game, averaging 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 2.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 48.5%, three-point shooting percentage 34.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 80.6%. In the playoffs, Randall averaged 36.6 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers and 3.8 fouls. He shot 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage 35.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.8%.

Randle's performance in the first round of the series is impressive. He showed stable scoring ability. He was able to maintain a very high level of performance with a large number of ball rights in his hand. His super performance on the offensive end is also an important factor in the team's ability to advance easily. Unexpectedly, in this round of series, Randall suffered a blow. He performed such a bad performance in G1, which directly dragged the team down, which really made everyone feel a little worried about his performance. In the next game, can Randall adjust his form and perform at a higher level? If Randall cannot exert his strength, the Timberwolves' competitiveness will definitely decline significantly.
