Ningbo Rockets

Early in 2006, the Bayi Fubang basketball team were established as a joint venture between Ningbo Fubang Holdings and the Bayi Rockets.{{cite web |title=剑鱼替代火箭 八一正式落户宁波 |url=http://news.sohu.com/20061223/n247213615.shtml |website=sohu.com |access-date=19 October 2021 |date=23 December 2006}} 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.{{cite web |title=砸了两亿的富邦，想接手八一的人，为何这么难？ |url=https://www.sohu.com/a/427703759_100272412 |website=sohu.com |access-date=19 October 2021 |date=27 October 2020}} After the Bayi Rockets dissolved and quit the league in 2020, Ningbo Fubang applied for acquisition of the team, but was not approved.{{cite web |title=整支球队退出联盟，八一男篮基本确定解散！再见了，八冠王 |url=https://www.sohu.com/a/425002614_505583 |website=sohu.com |access-date=19 October 2021 |date=16 October 2020}}
