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 quit the league in 2020, Ningbo Fubang applied for acquisition of the team, but was not approved.[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.

In their debut season, the 2021-22 CBA season, the team only succeeded in scoring 3 wins in 38 games in the regular season and were unable to make the playoffs,[5] followed by 4 wins in 42 games in the 2022-23 CBA season.[6]
