Last Monday, the Detroit Pistons' social media team slammed Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin online. The Pistons posted a video of defender Tyler Cook dunking on social media with the headline: "When you don't have to wait for another dunk for more than a year." ”
Subsequently, the content was deleted by the Pistons, which aroused the strong attention of fans.
Apparently, the Pistons were taunting Griffin for "not working hard" while playing in Detroit. Previously, Griffin had not dunked for more than a year due to consecutive injuries. However, in the first game for the Nets, Griffin made a powerful dunk, which made the Pistons unhappy.
Before the deal deadline, the Pistons reached a buyout agreement with Griffin. After becoming a free agent, Griffin signed with the Nets. According to statistics, Griffin had not dunked in the Pistons for two seasons. In fact, griffin played only 38 games in those two seasons.
This season, Griffin averaged 10.9 points, five rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. After joining the Nets, Griffin's body is still very fragile, and he has not played back-to-back games.
In the win over the Pelicans, Griffin had 16 points and eight rebounds on 6-of-13 shooting, making him very efficient.
Interestingly, Griffin took the initiative to play tomorrow's back-to-back game against the Raptors after winning, and seemed to be fighting back against the Pistons.
Griffin said: "I've been asking for more appearances, which needs to be decided by the team and the coaching staff. ”
