Ducks unveil new bench boss

After releasing former NBA All-Star point guard Stephon Marbury and hiring a new skipper in Yannis Christopoulos, the Beijing Ducks are clearly committed to rebuilding ahead of the 2017-18 Chinese Basketball Association season.

Christopoulos, a 43-year-old Greek who served as former Team China head coach Gong Luming's assistant at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was introduced to the media on Friday after signing a three-year contract with the Ducks, tasked with leading the franchise back to its former glory.

Marbury and former bench boss Min Lulei led the club to three CBA titles from 2012-15.
