Today's NBA playoffs in the Western Conference second round began, the Suns won the Lone Ranger 110-80 at home, won the Battle of Tennoyama, and led 3-2 on aggregate in the series, getting match points. In the final 2.3 seconds of the game, Suns bench center Biyombo still made a final attack despite the team's 28-point lead, and then clashed with Chris of the Lone Rangers, both of which were expelled by the referee. After the game, This behavior of Bi Yongbo was pushed into the hot search.
Today we will talk about the story of the player known as the "African Rodman", Bismarck Biennberg.
Born in 1992 in Lubumbashi, Congo, Biyombo was the eldest of seven children in a family of seven, and unlike the average African basketball teenager, Biyombo's family was well-off, he did not have to rely on playing basketball to make a living, but perhaps it was heaven's arrangement, and Biyombo fell in love with the sport as a child.
At the age of 15, Biyombo had the idea of playing in the professional league, and in order to get more opportunities to play, he left his hometown alone for the first time and went to Tanzania. Sleeping standing in a prison in Tanzania, eating only one meal a day in Yemen, being cheated by an agent and signing a deed of sale. He experienced all of this at the age of 16 for the basketball dream in his heart, and it is gratifying that Bi Yongbo finally got the opportunity to play professionally. In angola and Spain, he chose the latter, and after weeks of trial and waiting, he was only given a contract to play for the fourth division team. With his own efforts, he was promoted to the third division team, then the second team, and also had the opportunity to play against the first team.
In January 2011, the 19-year-old Biyongbo made his la Liga debut, and in April of the same year, Biyongbo appeared at the Nike Basketball Summit, he cut 12 points, 11 rebounds and ten blocks in 28 minutes, shocking the United States, which was also the first triple-double in the history of the event. It is worth mentioning that among the teammates of that year was Guo Allen, who is now the top point guard in Asia.
In June 2011, he was selected by the Kings with the seventh overall pick in the NBA Draft and was traded to the Bobcats. At this time, the Spanish team he played for had to pay a $1.05 million buyout fee to join, and he couldn't get it at that time, so he missed the first preseason game of the rookie season. In the end, bobcats paid him a lot of money, and he was able to land in the NBA and start his dreamy career here.
In the world's top basketball leagues, Biyombo's first four years were not good, rough technique, and not outstanding height, became the main reason for his slow progress, and eventually the team lost patience with him. In the summer of 2015, the Hornets declined to offer Billy Biyombo an offer, and as a free agent, he eventually signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the Raptors. It was also this signing that allowed Biyongbo to usher in the first highlight of his career.
In the 2016 Eastern Conference Finals, the Raptors trailed the Cavaliers 0:2, and In Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Bismarck Biyombo played 39 minutes, with 7 points, 26 rebounds and 4 blocks, setting a new career single-game rebounding record, while setting a Raptors all-time playoff single-game rebounding record, 26 rebounds also made him an NBA playoff record holder with Howard and Olajuwon. In the third and fourth games, Bi Yongbo grabbed a total of 40 rebounds and sent seven blocks to help the Raptors down two cities in a row. Although he ultimately failed to beat the Cavaliers with James, By this time Biyombo had already proved himself, he earned his first 10 million annual salary, and the Magic team offered him a four-year, 72 million contract.
Unfortunately, when he came to the Magic, he failed to continue the state of the playoffs. After returning to mediocrity, the Magic sent him back to the Hornets in the summer of 2018. The Hornets were in the rebuilding period at this time, and the team had his tactical position. In the fall of 2021, due to his father's illness, Biyombo chose to leave the team.
When people have begun to forget the African Rodman, who has been at the top of the cap list for many years, the Suns brought him back to the league with a ten-day contract, and he also won a formal contract with outstanding performance. At Paul's side, The 30-year-old Isombo may have his second spring in his career.
Not long ago, Billyon Announced that he had donated his entire salary of $1.36 million this season to the construction of a hospital in his hometown of Congo, in honor of his late father. This tall and burly man also has a tender side of the iron man. Bi Yongbo said that in the United States, I am just a basketball player, at best a star, but the meaning of going home is far from it. Wherever I go, congo will always be in my heart.
