华盛顿 – 俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo)在奥兰多度过了他与马刺队的第一个非正式日，他在那里亲眼目睹了身材高大的魔术队以 112-111 战胜了他的新球队。
这位经验丰富的中锋很快就准确地找出了他可以如何帮助马刺队。
“每个人都能看到，”比永博说。“我们必须解决进攻篮板、二次得分和油漆区得分的问题。”
显然，比永博在周日签署 10 天合同时通过了所需的体检视力部分。
在缺少身高 6 英尺 8 英寸的比永博的情况下，魔术队在篮板球上以 45-35 击败了马刺队，其中包括 12 个进攻篮板，同时在油漆区以 56-34 领先，并在内线得分上以 20-6 占据优势。
这种情况经常发生在马刺队身上，尤其是在将替补中锋 扎克·科林斯 (Zach Collins)交易到芝加哥，以及替补中锋 查尔斯·巴锡 (Charles Bassey)因左膝扭伤而进入伤病名单之后。
这也是比永博在周一与华盛顿的比赛之前的第一次马刺队投篮训练中受到热烈欢迎的原因。
“显然，我们第一组有那个大个子，”前锋 朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)指的是身高 7 英尺 3 英寸的文班亚马。“在那之后，情况就变得不稳定了。我认为比永博会给我们带来一些身体对抗和一些领导力。”
32 岁的比永博一旦踏上马刺队的球场，就将开始他的第 14 个 NBA 赛季。在效力于七支球队的 839 场职业生涯比赛中，比永博的职业生涯平均得分为 5.1 分、5.9 个篮板和 1.3 个盖帽。
他保持着 NBA 季后赛单场篮板球纪录的一部分，在 2016 年东部决赛对阵克利夫兰的第三场比赛中为多伦多抢下 26 个篮板。这个纪录在联盟历史上只有 德怀特·霍华德 (Dwight Howard) 和 哈基姆·奥拉朱旺 (Hakeem Olajuwon) 能够与之比肩。
作为马刺队阵容中第三位 30 多岁的球员，与 克里斯·保罗 (Chris Paul) 和 哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 一起，比永博相信只要他在队中，他也可以为球队带来经验丰富的知识。
“我们进入联盟时都很年轻，”比永博说。“有些错误，我们都犯过。我们花了一些时间才学会。这就是重点，你如何教导其中的一些事情以及你所获得的知识？”
目前，比永博是学习的那个人。
周一在华盛顿进行投篮训练后，他很晚才留在球场上，与球队的视频协调员 肯尼·特雷维尼奥 (Kenny Trevino)一起进行挡拆演练并挥汗如雨。
“我认为我会学得很快，”比永博说。
他需要这样做。
比永博的 10 天合同倒计时在全明星假期期间暂停，使他有资格与马刺队一起参加 2 月 20 日在奥斯汀对阵菲尼克斯的比赛。
如果马刺队希望在那之后继续将比永博留在阵容中，他们将需要重新签下他。
约翰逊的私人啦啦队
对于替补后卫 凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)来说，周一在华盛顿的比赛有点像回家。一直都是如此。
约翰逊出生在距离 Capitol One Center 以南约两个小时车程的弗吉尼亚州切斯特菲尔德。因此，马刺队与奇才队的比赛一直是约翰逊的朋友和家人争相抢购的门票。
他预计周一会有大约 40 多个人的私人啦啦队。
“他们人数众多，”约翰逊笑着说。“肯定会见到我小时候的朋友，我有一段时间没见过的人，这增加了兴奋感。”
尽管在距离华盛顿特区相对较近的地方长大，但约翰逊说他小时候从未参加过奇才队的比赛。
“从来没有，”他说。
西索科在波特兰出现
马刺队成员得知 西迪·西索科 (Sidy Cissoko)与波特兰开拓者队签订了一份双向合同，感到很鼓舞。
马刺队代理教练 米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson)说：“他是一位年轻球员，看起来他正处于能够进入轮换阵容的边缘。”
西索科曾是马刺队的第二轮选秀，作为引进 达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)的交易的一部分被交易到萨克拉门托。国王队立即将西索科转手到华盛顿，华盛顿反过来又放弃了他。
这位 20 岁的前锋在波特兰找到了新的机会，在那里他有机会在蓬勃发展的开拓者俱乐部中获得上场时间。

WASHINGTON – Bismack Biyombo spent his first unofficial day with the Spurs in Orlando, where he was on hand to watch the oversized Magic bully their way to a 112-111 victory over his new team.
It didn’t take long for the veteran big man to pinpoint exactly how he might help the Spurs.
“Everybody can see,” Biyombo said. “We’ve got to figure out offensive rebounds, second-chance points, points in the paint.”
Clearly, Biyombo passed the eyesight part of the required physical before signing his 10-day contract Sunday.
Without the 6-foot-8 Biyombo, the Magic beat the Spurs 45-35 on the boards, including 12 offensive rebounds, while earning a 56-34 edge in the paint and a 20-6 advantage in the paint.
It was the type of thing that has happened often to the Spurs, especially since trading backup center Zach Collins to Chicago and losing fellow backup center Charles Bassey to the injured list with a left knee sprain.
It is a reason Biyombo was welcomed with open arms at his first Spurs shootaround leading to Monday’s game at Washington.
“Obviously we’ve got the big fella in the first group,” forward Julian Champagnie said, referring to the 7-foot-3 Victor Wembanyama. “After that, it’s up and down. I think Bismack will bring us some physicality and some leadership.”
The 32-year-old Biyombo will start his 14th NBA season the moment he steps on the court for the Spurs. In 839 career games split between seven teams, Biyombo boasts career averages of 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.
He holds a piece of the NBA record for rebounds in a playoff game, grabbing 26 for Toronto in Game 3 of the 2016 Eastern Conference Finals against Cleveland. It is a mark matched only by Dwight Howard and Hakeem Olajuwon in league history.
As a third 30-something on the Spurs’ roster, joining Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes, Biyombo believes he can also bring veteran know-how to the team for as long as he is on it.
“We were all young coming into the league,” Biyombo said. “Some of these mistakes, we all made them. It took us some time to learn. That’s the whole point of this, how can you teach some of these things and this knowledge you have acquired?”
For now, Biyombo is the one doing the learning.
He stayed late on the court after shootaround Monday in Washington, running through pick-and-roll scenarios and working up a sweat with Kenny Trevino, the team’s video coordinator.
“I think I will learn fast,” Biyombo said.
He will need to.
The countdown on Biyombo’s 10-day contract is paused during the All-Star break, leaving him eligible to play with the Spurs through the Feb. 20 game against Phoenix in Austin.
The Spurs will need to re-sign Biyombo if they play to keep him on the roster past that date.
A personal cheering section for Johnson
For reserve guard Keldon Johnson, Monday’s game in Washington was something of a homecoming. It always is.
Johnson was born about two hours south of the Capitol One Center in Chesterfield, Va. As such, Spurs games with the Wizards are always a hot ticket among Johnson’s friends and family.
He was expecting a personal cheering section number in the mid-40s on Monday.
“They roll deep,” Johnson said with a grin. “Definitely seeing friends from when I was little, people I haven’t seen in a while, it adds to the excitement.”
Despite growing up in relative proximity to D.C., Johnson said he attended exactly zero Wizards games as a kid.
“Never,” he said.
Cissoko turns up in Portland
Members of the Spurs organization were heartened to learn Sidy Cissoko had landed a two-way contract with the Portland Trail Blazers.
“He’s a young player who looks like he is on the cusp of being able to be in a rotation,” Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said.
A former second-round pick of the Spurs, Cissoko was traded to Sacramento as part of the deal that brought in De’Aaron Fox. The Kings immediately flipped Cissoko to Washington, which in turn waived him.
The 20-year-old forward has found a new opportunity in Portland, where he stands to find minutes with a surging Trail Blazers club.
