The Ningbo Rockets (Chinese: 宁波火箭; pinyin: Níngbō Huǒjiàn), or Ningbo Fubang Rockets (Chinese: 宁波富邦火箭; pinyin: Níngbō Fùbāng Huǒjiàn), competing as Ningbo Yongxing Securities (Chinese: 宁波甬兴证券; pinyin: Níngbō Yǒngxīng Zhèngquàn), are a professional basketball team based in Ningbo, Zhejiang. They are currently competing in the Chinese Basketball Association. The team are derived from the dissolved Bayi Rockets.

History[]

Early in 2006, the Bayi Fubang basketball team were established as a joint venture between Ningbo Fubang Holdings and the Bayi Rockets.[1] In 2018, the two owners parted ways due to military reform for Bayi Rockets' military backgrounds. The Bayi Rockets were able to participate in the CBA league as a special guest team, while Ningbo Fubang Holdings retained a spot for its own team in the league.[2] After the Bayi Rockets dissolved and quitted the league in 2020, Ningbo Fubang applied for acquisition of the team, but was unapproved.[3]

In 2021, the Ningbo Rockets was founded by Ningbo Fubang Holdings as a new club, but the company claimed its connections with the Bayi Rockets.[4] Li Ke, former player of the Bayi Rockets, was appointed as the head coach.
