In his rookie season, Blake Griffin showed his core value. Not only did his dunks greatly increase the team's exposure, but his performance also directly climbed to the star level. It's a pity that too many injuries prevented him from winning more victories for the team in the playoffs, and the Clippers decided to part ways with him. After joining the Pistons, Griffin changed his style of play and evolved again. He also returned to the All-Star Game after a three-season absence. The value of his first brother was demonstrated in Detroit.
"I'm just lucky" 45 points and the winning three-pointer in a single game
- season：2013-2014 (fifth season of career)
- result: Speedboat 121-120 Sun(OT)
- data:45 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal
Griffin's three-point shooting ability has begun to develop this season. Although he still rarely takes shots in games (averaging 0.4 goals per game), his shooting percentage has improved from less than 30% in previous seasons to 40%. Perhaps the sun is one of the best witnesses.
The game went into overtime, with Griffin playing the longest game of the season (42.5 minutes). BG's destructive power made it difficult for the Suns to withstand. Not only did he have a high shooting percentage of 14 of 24, but he also made the second-highest number of free throws in a single season with 17 (15 made). Coupled with the step-back three-pointer with 2.6 seconds remaining, Griffin successfully led the team to victory in addition to the second-highest 45 in his career.
The smart beast has a big triple for the first time in his career
- season: 2010-2011 (first season of career)
- result: Clippers 121-120 Wizards (2OT)
- data:33 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists
Under the leadership of "ball-handling god" Chris Paul, Blake Griffin has always been difficult to get rid of the impression of "eating cake" and scoring. However, before Paul missed the playoffs to show his organizational skills, BG had already made great achievements in assist data. In his rookie season, he averaged 3.8 assists per game at a high level as a forward.
The game against the Wizards was a fierce battle that was extended for the second time. Griffin played the longest 51 minutes on the team and scored a terrifying 33 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists to achieve the first triple in his career. Although he ended up fouling out and leaving the game, the team didn't let his record night be tarnished.
Griffin's second career triple-double was also achieved in his rookie season. In the last game of the season against the Grizzlies, he scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to end his rookie year. In the end, he was also selected as the Rookie of the Year.
L.A. Speedboat Rockets Battle
- season：2017-2018 (eighth season of career)
- result: Speedboat 113-102 Rocket
- data:29 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists
In this game, Griffin's performance was only slightly above his personal average level in terms of statistics and dominance, but he became the winner in this unexpected "face battle". That day was the first time Chris Paul returned to the Clippers home court after leaving Los Angeles. Not only BG and CP3, but also the players from both teams were extremely angry.
Although the home team emerged victorious, the anger continued to spread to the lounge with choking and conflicts after the game. BG, who won the emotional battle, was traded by the Clippers after six games, following in the footsteps of his former Lob City teammates, and began his life in Detroit.
The only 50-point game in his career and the game-winning three-pointer
- season：2018-2019 (ninth season of career)
- result: Pistons 133-132 76ers (OT)
- data:50 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists
In his first full season with the Pistons, Blake Griffin finally showed the much-anticipated core value and returned to the All-Star Game lineup. In the third game of the season, Griffin scored a career-high 50 points. Regardless of back-to-back in the penalty area or fast-break cuts, the 76ers forward group was overwhelmed. When the opponent's defense retreated, Griffin directly punished the opponent with the three-point line. Amid the cheers of MVP, he even won the game for the team with a three-pointer 5 seconds before the end of the game.
Teammate Zaza Pachulia at the time commented on his performance: "He is very comfortable playing both inside and outside offense, and his physical condition is very good. He is a very smart player, and it is a very different feeling to play with him."
Successfully transitioned to 9 three-pointers in a single game
- season：2018-2019 (ninth season of career)
- result: Pistons 110-123 Thunder
- data:45 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists
Griffin began to take a large number of three-pointers in 17-18, and by the 18-19 season, he averaged 7 three-pointers per game. In this game, BG showed efficient shooting skills. In addition to the destructive power of 14 of 16 free throws, he also made 14 three-pointers from outside while playing with an injury, 9 of which set a career-high number of three-pointers in a single game.
