Griffin attended the post-game press conference with Pooh after the game with the Heat, although this is already common for Griffin, but today's problem is very special, all the reporters focused on the comparison between him and LeBron James, who is also the champion of the physical explosion, who also played good statistics in the second year, and also used his ability to start learning to influence the game.

"Hey guys, there's no doubt that's a bad comparison, Blake is a great interior player and LeBron is an outside player, and I guess there's a gap between them, you don't mind if I say that, right? Also, Pooh and I have been sitting here for a long time, and we would be embarrassed if you didn't ask. ”

Barang Davis finally came out to relieve the siege, and Griffin was also relieved, he still experienced less of this kind of battle, Davis was too experienced than himself in comparison, and listening to Davis's meaning this is not a sharp question.

With the passage of time, the 2011 All-Star is getting closer and closer, and it is a coincidence that this NBA All-Star is the 60th All-Star of the NBA, so it inexplicably adds a different meaning, and the venue is in a big city like Los Angeles, so the momentum is particularly huge.

The host is Los Angeles, so it is naturally Kobe Bryant who leads the votes, and surprisingly, Blake Griffin's votes are also very high, second only to those at the top of the pyramid, which makes Sam very happy, and he is also an All-Star, but the exposure and popularity represented by the starters and substitutes are naturally not the same.

When it came to the All-Star, a problem that made the always reserved Sam red-faced also came to him.

"Blake, don't tell me that you won't be participating in the slam dunk contest this year, and the league has already sent 3 invitations."

“...... Uh, I'm sorry Sam, I'm not going to attend. ”

"Damn it! You must tell me a reason! Otherwise I wouldn't have allowed you to be so willful! What you refuse is not only a slam dunk contest, but also green money and the attention of fans all over the world! ”

"Actually, I don't think I'm a good fit for the slam dunk contest...... When I go to participate, even if I win, I'll be left with the impression of 'ah, this slam dunk contest is so watery', and I'm going to be pulled out of the wheel many years later, and I don't think I'm missing that attention, I've been playing pretty well this season, haven't I? ”

“... Where did all your damn thoughts come from, look at Kobe Bryant, look at Tracy, look at them, did the dunk contest affect them? On the contrary, as you become more and more famous in the future, these will only be your glorious resume! ”

"Okay, Sam calm, I really don't have any creativity in the slam dunk contest, I will only dunk in actual combat, you asked me to think about creative dunks like that in the dunk contest, I really don't have any interest." Griffin replied nonchalantly to Sam while playing with 2K.

"Your finance team will definitely talk to you again, and Adidas! The All-Star boots they brought out for you would benefit a lot more if they were to be featured in the slam dunk contest than if you had only played in two games, and if you keep going, I'm sure you'll be annoyed! ”

Griffin shrugged and said it doesn't matter, anyway, I just won't participate, you have the ability to go up and buckle it yourself, but then again, I'm quite interested in the skills challenge, if a big man goes to the skills challenge, how interesting it is, in fact, it's not impossible, as long as the passing and shooting doesn't go wrong, in terms of the pace of the big man, it's easy to be faster than the guard player, after all, the distance is not long.

But it's a pity that Griffin didn't receive an invitation, and Griffin's character naturally won't take the initiative to sign up anymore, how troublesome it is, and normally speaking, this NBA All-Star Griffin has to play 2 games, play the rookie game as a sophomore student, and there is an All-Star game, Yao Ming will definitely be thrown into the All-Star, but Yao Ming has been reimbursed, so he is very hopeful to enter the starting list.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, in fact, Griffin can't get into the starter, but Yao Ming is reimbursed, there must be a player to replace it, this place is generally decided by the head coach, this year's coach Popovich, who has previously released rumors that he will choose Tim Duncan into the starter.

As soon as this news came out, it caused controversy and dissatisfaction among the majority of fans, first of all, Duncan's data performance this year naturally cannot be compared with Griffin, and secondly, Griffin's votes are higher, but Tim Duncan's status is here, so this is a little embarrassing.

The call on the Internet is basically half the point, and the fans with feelings naturally support Duncan, the first PF in history is not a joke, and Griffin is a small rookie or wait for it to be on it later.

These netizens have worked tirelessly to collect high-level data and historical examples to prove that Griffin is more worthy of this All-Star starting position, and the venue is in Los Angeles, and Griffin's selection is more meaningful.

Griffin is naturally not good at speaking as a party, speaking in his heart Griffin naturally attaches great importance to this starting position, which is a huge recognition of himself, and if he is not strong enough, it will be forgotten, but he is very qualified, and this heart is naturally itchy, if it weren't for the other party is Tim Duncan, Griffin would have spoken out to support himself.

Compared to Griffin, Uncle Duncan seemed much more indifferent, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and it wasn't until the discussion caused by this matter became bigger and bigger that Duncan paid attention to the ins and outs of this matter.

Spurs training hall, a simple team training, Tim Duncan sweating profusely drinking sports drinks, looked at Popovich next to him, and asked.

"You're going to select me as an All-Star starter to replace Yao?"

"Hmm"

"Do I get as much of a Blake as high?"

"Nope."

"I don't seem to have any data, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you choose him, I'm not going, just rest, I'll make a statement later."

"Okay."

A matter that was discussed by the outside world was resolved in an extremely simple conversation, and a few hours in the United States, Tim Duncan issued a statement through his agent that he would not participate in the competition for the NBA All-Star position, which belongs to Blake Griffin, and then Popovich confirmed this.

Griffin, who had been paying attention, naturally knew the news for the first time, and he was excited and immediately posted his gratitude to Duncan through his personal social media, and deeply explored the meaning of support and love for his predecessors.

In this way, Duncan got a good reputation, and Griffin also got his wish to become the NBA's starting All-Star in his second season, which is basically a win-win result, although there are still some fans who are dissatisfied, but it is always a minority.

Griffin also proved himself worthy of this position in the next few games, averaging 31 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and once again won the NBA Player of the Week, and the team also achieved a 5-3 record, firmly in the top eight positions in the West.

On the last day of January, the Clippers defeated the visiting Bucks 98-105 at home, and when former Clippers star Margety played a brave 25-point game, Griffin gave a strong response, scoring 32 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists on 13-of-20 shooting to lead the Clippers to win the game, and officially ended the January schedule.

January's Player of the Month was won by LeBron James and Zach Randolph.
