Thanks again, Herbert.
I did, as you suggested.
biblatex-spbasic.zip
contains doc with biblatex-spbasic.pdf and .tex
and latex containing biblatex-spbasic.bbx (biblatex style for spbasic.bst)
and biblatex-spbasic.cbx

I put both files in
/us/local/texlive/2021/texmf-local/tex/latex/biblatex-spbasic/
did a texhash and sudo texhash

changed the settings according to your screenshot (including biber setting)

did a tools/reconfigure

but I can't find in the lyx file under Document settings > Bibliography 
 > Biblatex citation the biblatex-spbasic files
same for Biblatex bibliography style

I had to do the copying as sudo. Could this be the reason for the failure?

With the sp-basic.bst file for bibtex is was sufficient to put this file 
in the folder of the lyx document. I could load this style file into the 
document.

However, I noted that the biblatex-spbasic.bbx and biblatex-spbasic.cbx 
files are owned by root.

How would I change it, if I am in the folder with the two biblatex files

with sudo chown ...
or chmod.. (forgot the shell command in linux)

or should I change the entire :
sudo chown -R ...
