圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋俾斯麦·比永博（中）在 2025 年 2 月 21 日星期五于德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的 NBA 篮球比赛下半场中，受到底特律活塞队中锋贾伦·杜伦 (0) 和后卫凯德·坎宁安（左）的压迫。
新奥尔良——马刺队中锋俾斯麦·比永博(Bismack Biyombo)深知 NBA 的大个子遭遇膝盖问题有多么困难。
比永博在 2019 年 4 月效力于夏洛特黄蜂队期间接受了关节镜手术，以解决左膝的慢性问题。考虑到自己的经历，这位来自刚果民主共和国的第 14 年球员特意与受膝伤困扰的马刺队替补中锋、尼日利亚人查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)进行了交谈。此前，马刺队以 114-96 输给了新奥尔良鹈鹕队。
巴锡的膝盖问题由来已久，可以追溯到他在西肯塔基大学的二年级赛季，当时他接受了手术来修复左腿胫骨平台骨折。在周日的比赛中，他因左膝酸痛而缺席了下半场。俱乐部后来透露，这是由于急性发作的慢性骨挫伤所致。
巴锡最新的挫折迫使他缺席了周二晚上与鹈鹕队的重赛。
在周日的比赛结束后，比永博向巴锡提供了一些指导和支持。巴锡曾在圣安东尼奥的圣安东尼高中打篮球。
“相信医疗团队，并尽你所能完成他们要求你做的所有小事，”比永博告诉巴锡。
比永博说，大个子们必须团结在一起，因为他们的恢复和后卫球员的恢复是“两件不同的事情”。
“我们的打球风格截然不同，”身高 6 英尺 8 英寸的比永博说，“最终，你只需要信任医疗团队。他们比我更了解人体，我更依赖他们。”
身高 6 英尺 10 英寸的巴锡已经与骨挫伤作斗争了一段时间，因此俱乐部乐观地认为，这不会让他缺席超过几天。
马刺队在中锋位置上的深度不足是他们最大的问题之一，因为他们正在努力重返西部联盟的附加赛行列。
除了巴锡之外，马刺队还缺少全明星中锋维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)。由于右肩的血栓，文班亚马上周三被宣布赛季报销。这位 7 英尺 3 英寸的法国人离队时，场均贡献全队最高的 11.0 个篮板。
在巴锡和文班亚马缺阵的情况下，马刺队唯一真正的中锋是比永博。在上周五签下第二份 10 天短合同后，比永博周二首发出场，这是他连续第三场首发。
马刺队原本指望巴锡能在周五晚上对阵底特律的比赛中，在因左膝内侧副韧带扭伤缺席六场比赛后回归，为他们提供一些急需的篮板帮助。
但周日中场休息后，他又回到了替补席上，正在照顾他受伤的膝盖。
马刺队在那晚输给鹈鹕队的比赛中浪费了第三节 17 分的领先优势，战绩下滑至 24 胜 31 负，自从失去文班亚马以来，他们的战绩为 1 胜 2 负。
“我为这个孩子感到非常沮丧，”马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)谈到巴锡时说道。巴锡在 2023 年 12 月参加一场发展联盟比赛时左膝前交叉韧带撕裂，缺席了上赛季的大部分比赛。
“他付出了很多努力，”约翰逊补充道。“再说一次，没有人会为你感到难过，你要接受你手中的牌。但他确实非常努力。希望这只是一个短期的事情，他很快就会回来。”
巴锡在周日的上半场出场 6 分钟，得到 4 分、3 个篮板、2 次助攻和 1 次抢断。本赛季，他在 34 场比赛中场均出场 10.7 分钟，得到 4.6 分、4.4 个篮板和 0.9 次盖帽。
比永博说，巴锡就像马刺队的所有年轻球员一样，他汲取了老球员们与他分享的智慧。
“这些年轻人是一群很棒的人，”比永博说。“他们会听取你能传达的东西。”
比永博很高兴与帕克重聚
比永博很高兴在周二上午的投篮训练中看到他的一位前队友：名人堂控球后卫托尼·帕克(Tony Parker)。
两人在 2018-19 赛季在夏洛特并肩作战，那是帕克在 NBA 的最后一个赛季。在此之前，帕克在马刺队效力了 17 个赛季，这是一个名人堂级别的职业生涯，其中包括四次 NBA 总冠军，其中一次是在 2007 年，这位法国后卫被评为总决赛 MVP。
比永博说，帕克是他和黄蜂队其他年轻球员的“伟大的导师”。
“他是一位充满智慧的人，”比永博说。“他曾在最高水平的比赛中竞争，并在 NBA 征战了很长时间，这需要大量的投入和奉献。每次你和他在一起时，你总是想学到一些东西，倾听他要说的话，以及其中的智慧。
“很高兴看到他在身边。正如他所说的那样，他会尽量时不时地回来，所以能够与他联系总是很好。”

Spurs’ Bismack Biyombo, Charles Bassey bond over injury history
San Antonio Spurs center Bismack Biyombo, center, is pressured by Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (0) and guard Cade Cunningham, left, during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Austin, Texas, Friday, Feb. 21, 2025.
NEW ORLEANS – Spurs center Bismack Biyombo knows how difficult it can be for a big man in the NBA to experience knee problems.
Biyombo underwent arthroscopic surgery in April 2019 while with the Charlotte Hornets to fix chronic issues in his left knee. Given his background, the 14th-year player from the Democratic Republic of the Congo made it a point to talk to injury-plagued Spurs backup center and native of Nigeria Charles Bassey after Sunday’s 114-96 loss to New Orleans.
Bassey, who has a long history of knee problems dating back to his sophomore season at Western Kentucky when he underwent surgery to repair a tibial plateau fracture in his left leg, sat out the second half of Sunday’s game because of a sore left knee the club later revealed was due to an acute-on-chronic bone bruise.
Bassey’s latest setback forced him to sit out Tuesday night’s rematch with the Pelicans.
After Sunday’s game, Biyombo offered Bassey, who played high school basketball in San Antonio as a St. Anthony Yellow Jacket, some guidance and support.
“Trust the medical staff and do all the little things they require you do to,” Biyombo told Bassey.
Biyombo said big men have to stick together because their recovery and the recovery of backcourt players are “two different things.”
“Our style of play is much different,” the 6-foot-8 Biyombo said. “In the end, you just have got to trust the medical staff. They have better knowledge of a human body than I do, and I rely more on them.”
The 6-10 Bassey has been dealing with the bone bruise for a while now, so the club is optimistic it won’t keep him out for more than a few days.
The Spurs’ lack of depth at center is one of their biggest problems as they struggle to get back into the Western Conference play-in picture.
In addition to Bassey, the Spurs are without All-Star center Victor Wembanyama, who was ruled out for the season last Wednesday due to a blood clot in his right shoulder. The 7-foot-3 Frenchman exited averaging a team-best 11.0 rebounds per game.
With Bassey and Wembanyama sidelined, the Spurs’ only true center is Biyambo, who started his third game in a row Tuesday after signing a second 10-day contract last Friday.
The Spurs were counting on Bassey giving them some much-needed help on the boards after he returned Friday night against Detroit following a six-game absence due to an MCL sprain in his left knee.
But there he was back on the bench after halftime Sunday nursing his bruised knee.
The Spurs blew a 17-point third quarter lead in losing to the Pelicans that night to fall to 24-31, including 1-2 since losing Wembanyama.
“Pretty frustrated for the kid,” acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said of Bassey, who missed most of last season after tearing the ACL in his left knee while playing in a G League game in December 2023.
“He’s put in a lot of work,” Johnson added. “Again, no one feels sorry for you and you play with the hand you’re dealt. But he’s worked really hard. Hopefully, it will be a short-term thing and he’s back soon.”
Bassey finished the first half Sunday with four points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in six minutes. For the season, he is averaging 10.7 minutes, 4.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.9 blocks over 34 games.
Biyombo said Bassey is like all of the Spurs’ young players in that he soaks up the wisdom the aging players share with him.
“These young guys are a great group,” Biyombo said. “They listen to what you can pass along.”
Biyombo enjoys reunion with Parker
Biyombo was excited to see one of his former teammates in attendance at shootaround Tuesday morning: Hall of Fame point guard Tony Parker.
The two played together in Charlotte during the 2018-19 season, Parker’s last in the NBA after he signed with the Hornets following his 17 seasons with the Spurs, a Hall of Fame run that included four NBA championships, including the one in 2007 in which the French guard was named Finals MVP.
Biyombo said Parker was a “great mentor” to him and other younger players on the Hornets.
“He is a man full of wisdom,” Biyombo said. "He has competed at the highest level and played a long time in the NBA, which took a lot of commitment, a lot of dedication. Every time you’re around him, you’re always trying to learn something, listen to what he has to say, the wisdom behind it.
“It’s great to see him around. As he was saying, he tries to come back every now and then, so it’s always good to connect with him.”
