In fact, as early as the regular season, the Western Conference, except for the Thunder, all other teams have very similar results. As expected, even if they entered the playoffs, the teams in the first half of the area only had the Thunder, easily swept the Grizzlies to advance, and other teams were in a tough battle. The Lakers were simply eliminated and lost to the Timberwolves in five games.

After the Lakers were eliminated, many details began to get attention. The Lakers' exit actually laid the root of disaster. In the Timberwolves' formation opposite, many players have a close relationship with the Lakers, but they were easily sold at the beginning, but now the Lakers are punished. For example, the old player Julius Randle, who can be said to have avenged his previous shame in this round of series, because most of his career, Julius Randle is a typical representative of the soft-footed shrimp. His regular season performance was very stable and he was selected into the All-Star and the best team in the league. However, every time he entered the playoffs, Julius Randle would lose his tracks. Not only did his data drop sharply, but his shooting percentage was around 3-40% as an insider, which was simply terrible.

But in this round of the series with the Lakers, Julius Randle seemed to be red-eyed when he saw his old club. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game, and his key efficiency is not bad at all. Julius Randle scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first game, but made 7 mistakes. Although the Timberwolves had a good start, they were still flawed. Unexpectedly, in the next four games, Julius Randall scored 20+ points, and only 6 mistakes were added. Even the defensive end, which has been criticized for a long time, has repeatedly contributed outstanding performances.

As for the wing Jaden McDaniels, he almost came to Los Angeles in the draft that year. This is because after the Lakers won the championship season, they used Danny Green and a first-round pick to exchange Schroeder from the Thunder, and the player they chose for the first-round pick was Jaden McDaniels, who finally came to the Timberwolves. After eliminating the Lakers to advance, the Timberwolves official Twitter posts mocking, thanking the Lakers for indirectly sending Jaden McDaniels to their hands.

As a player from the end of the first round, Jaden McDaniels started out on defense, but in this round of the series, he not only consumed Luca Doncic and LeBron James well, but also showed certain offensive skills. Jaden McDaniels averaged 17.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1 steal per game, especially the first and third games of the series. It was his sudden outbreak that disrupted the Lakers' overall defensive deployment and laid a solid tone for the Timberwolves to gain an advantage and eventually advance.
