The new Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) season is set to tip off on October 12, and the Beijing Ducks are making significant moves to reclaim their status as title contenders. The three-time champions have undergone a major overhaul, bringing in new coaching staff and fresh talent as they aim for their first championship in a decade.
After a disappointing exit in the first round of last season’s playoffs, the Ducks appointed former Chinese women’s national team coach Xu Limin to lead the team’s revival. The 58-year-old coach has been tasked with rebuilding the squad, and his efforts have brought a wave of excitement among fans and players alike.
Xu bolstered the roster by signing American forward Richard Solomon, who has competed in the G-League and joined the team for warm-up games in September. Solomon is optimistic about the season ahead. \
