This is Kobe s charm. The Timberwolves lead 3-1. Randall mentions Kobe with full respect.

The Minnesota Timberwolves easily defeated the Warriors with a score of 117-110 at the Golden State Warriors, successfully tying the series to 3-1, leading the opponent two wins. The Timberwolves only need to win another victory to advance to the Western Conference Finals early and wait for the winner of the Thunder and Nuggets duel. Edwards made an indelible contribution to winning this game. He played 33 minutes, contributed 30 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. With his outstanding third quarter performance, the Timberwolves took the game away with a score of 39-17 in a single quarter. But let's not forget Julius Randall.

It seems that the Timberwolves' choice to trade Towns for Julius Randall last year was also correct. In this game, Julius Randall made 11 of 21 shots, made 4 of 8 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Julius Randall's offensive ends on the inside and outside of the line gave the Golden State Warriors a huge blow.

It is hard to imagine that he frequently uses his height and speed to attack the Golden State Warriors' inside. After the game, Julius Randall also talked about how to face the difficulties in his career in the interview. Julius Randall specifically mentioned the former Lakers big brother Kobe.

Julius Randall said, "I have experienced a lot of things. I have a great mentor, Kobe Bryant, who taught me how to deal with those adversities in my career."

Julius Randall was the 2014 draft pick and was won by the Lakers in the 7th pick in the first round. Unfortunately, in the first game of the 2014-15 season, he suffered a serious leg injury, resulting in direct season reimbursement. He didn't come back healthy until the 2015-16 season. He played 81 games that season, and his time with Kobe was only a little more than a season.

However, Kobe has a very big impact on him. Moreover, Julius Randall has talked about Kobe in interviews many times, and he also affirmed Kobe's ability and influence. He also said that this former big brother taught himself a lot of things. If he had not been injured that year, he would probably be able to inherit Kobe's mantle and become one of the new leaders of the Lakers.

When Kobe retired, Tangiero Russell, Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randall were regarded as young players of the future by the Lakers. Now many years have passed, and the three of them go their separate ways, but only Julius Randall is doing the best. He voluntarily left the Lakers in 2018 and was the boss of the team in the Knicks. Now, he plays for the Timberwolves.

In fact, in the playoffs this season, Julius Randall was not the first or only player to mention Kobe, and Miles Turner. After the team led the Cleveland Cavaliers with a big score, Myles Turner said the mission is not over, and as Kobe said, we have not yet achieved success before the championship ends the real season because the game continues.

Perhaps this is Kobe's charm and influence. Many very young fans nowadays don't know much about Kobe. The players they learned the most were Stephen Curry and LeBron James, but in terms of personal competitiveness, endurance, desire to win, technology and competitive mentality, Kobe was all over the two.
