The Ningbo Fubang Rockets Basketball Club, commonly known as the Ningbo Rockets or Ningbo Fubang, is a Chinese professional men's basketball club based in Ningbo, Zhejiang. The club competes in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) and, under its current naming-rights agreement, plays as Ningbo Twinwash (Chinese: 宁波町渥; pinyin: Níngbō Tīngwò).

Ningbo Fubang Men's Basketball Club Co., Ltd. was established by Ningbo Fubang Holdings in August 2018. Local sports authorities regard the former Bayi Fubang (Ningbo) Men's Basketball Club as its predecessor. The club completed its registration with the Chinese Basketball Association and entered the CBA ahead of the 2021–22 season.[1]

History

[edit]

The Bayi Rockets moved their CBA home games to Ningbo in 1998. On 22 December 2006, Ningbo Fubang Holdings and the Bayi sports organisation jointly established Bayi Fubang (Ningbo) Men's Basketball Club.[2]

Ningbo Fubang Holdings established Ningbo Fubang Men's Basketball Club Co., Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary in August 2018.[1] After the Chinese Basketball Association announced in October 2020 that the Bayi men's and women's teams would no longer compete in the CBA and WCBA, Fubang began organising a new professional team and applied for admission to the CBA.[3]

On 16 July 2021, the club announced that it had completed its registration with the Chinese Basketball Association and the CBA company and had formally received a league berth. Its new crest retained the rocket motif associated with the Bayi club, replacing the Chinese characters for “Bayi” with “Ningbo” and changing the principal colours from dark red to dark blue and sky blue.[4][5]

In September 2021, the club signed a naming-rights agreement with Yongxing Securities and entered its inaugural season as Ningbo Yongxing Securities. Former Bayi player Li Ke was appointed as the club's first head coach, while Zhang Biao became its first captain.[6][7]

The Rockets played their first CBA regular-season game on 17 October 2021, losing 105–92 away to the Shanxi Loongs.[8] They finished their inaugural campaign with a 3–35 record and placed 19th in the regular season.

The home-appliance brand Twinwash became the club's naming sponsor in 2022, and the team has competed under the name Ningbo Twinwash since the 2022–23 season.[9]

In November 2022, the club appointed Adiljan Sulayman as its director of basketball operations. He replaced Li Ke as head coach on 25 February 2023, with Li moving to an assistant-coaching role.[10][11]

With the CBA returning to a home-and-away format in March 2023, the Rockets began playing regular home games at Ningbo Sports Development Center Gymnasium.[12]

During the 2023–24 season, Ningbo lost 28 consecutive games, tying the then-CBA record for the longest losing streak in a single season.[13]

In July 2024, the club appointed then-New Zealand men's national basketball team head coach Pero Cameron as head coach and hired Jovan Gorec as an assistant.[14]

Greek coach Charis Markopoulos was appointed ahead of the 2025–26 season.[15] Veteran guard Liu Xiaoyu joined the team in August 2025 as a player-assistant coach, and former China international Zhang Zhaoxu joined the staff the following month.[16][17]

Ningbo finished the 2025–26 regular season with a 21–21 record, placing 11th. On 20 April 2026, a home victory over the Jilin Northeast Tigers secured the first playoff berth in club history.[18] The Rockets were eliminated by the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in the first round, losing the best-of-three series 2–0.[19]

Club identity

[edit]

Arena

[edit]

The Rockets play their home games at Ningbo Sports Development Center Gymnasium in Yinzhou District. The venue, formerly known through commercial naming rights as Youngor Arena, has a seating capacity of more than 4,500.[12] It had previously served as the Bayi Rockets' CBA home venue from 1998.

Crest and colours

[edit]

The club's crest features a rocket and is based on the former Bayi Rockets identity. When the new crest was introduced in July 2021, the characters “Bayi” were replaced by “Ningbo” and the principal colours were changed from dark red to dark blue and sky blue.[5] The club's official colours are dark blue, white and sky blue.

Mascot

[edit]

As of July 2026, the club had not announced an official named mascot. A washing-machine character associated with naming sponsor Twinwash has appeared at home games, but it is a sponsor activation rather than an official club mascot.
