Green rarely surrenders! Only two people in his career made him lose their grudges, Randall defeated DPOY 25+7+6

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle performed well in this year's playoffs, especially in the semi-finals against the Golden State Warriors, who averaged 25.2 points, 7.4 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game, and shot as high as 53.3% from the field. These numbers are amazing enough for any player, let alone facing one of the best defensive players in the league like Drummond Green in a playoff game.

The Warriors legendary power forward revealed on a recent podcast that the showdown with Randle was the second time in his career that he was at a full-scale disadvantage in the matchup. Green said on the show: "In my career, these are the only two times I haven't completely dominated my game. Another series I feel like I lost against the Toronto Raptors that year. I think I lost to Pascal Siakam." The Raptors defeated the Warriors 4-2 in the finals that year and won the first championship trophy in the team history. Siakam became one of the key players in the finals. He had the upper hand in the match against Green, averaging 19.8 points per game and shooting as high as 50.5%.

Green said that this time the match with Randle was very similar to that of Siakam in the finals that year, and admitted that he lost to the Timberwolves player. The former defensive player of the year said bluntly: "Julianus is incredible. He played well. To be honest, some of the shots he shot were what we wanted him to shoot, but he hit them all." The Timberwolves star must be Anthony Edwards, but Randall is the team's locker room leader, and the young players on the team can learn a lot from him. Randall learned a lot from Kobe Bryant during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his shooting ability improved thanks to his efforts in training. Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert recently revealed Randall's effort in training in an interview, and this effort has been reflected in this round of the series.

Green is a well-known player in the league, and few people can get his praise, which undoubtedly proves how outstanding this three-time All-Star player is. And in this podcast episode of Greene, Greene also shared the story of his first meeting with Randall and how the two have continued to compete since then.

Greene said: "We've been fighting since Randall entered the league, and it's obviously the first fight at the playoff level, but I have to admit that he beat me. I'm not a lie, he's a tough guy and one of the toughest guys I've ever seen in the playoff series."
