Yes, it is possible to block the creation of new Microsoft Teams sites in SharePoint Online for end-users while allowing SharePoint Online administrators to create Teams sites. This can be done using the following steps:

1. Set up a policy: You can set up a policy in the SharePoint Online admin center to restrict the creation of Teams sites for end-users. To do this, go to the SharePoint admin center, click on Policies, and then create a new policy to restrict the creation of Teams sites.

2. Assign the policy: You can assign the policy to the relevant end-users by going to the Users section in the SharePoint admin center and selecting the end-users that you want to apply the policy to.

3. Allow administrators to create Teams sites: You can allow SharePoint Online administrators to create Teams sites by granting them the necessary permissions in the SharePoint Online admin center.

By following these steps, you can restrict the creation of new Teams sites for end-users while still allowing SharePoint Online administrators to create Teams sites if necessary. Keep in mind that these policies may change in the future, so it's always a good idea to check the latest information from Microsoft documentation to ensure that you are up to date.
