"abblocken" refers to something that is directed at you (deliberately). It's generally a very direct, personal action, it concerns you as a person, and thus common situations in which you would use it are intentional hits or thrown objects directed at you. Note the prefix "ab-", "away from"
"blockieren" is a general expression for "to block" or "to obstruct". If you block a person from entering a room, that's "blockieren". If you step on the breaks, "blockieren sie die Räder", when a tree lies on the street, "blockiert er den Verkehr". The verb generally means "to obstruct movement"
