Wikipedia - Shanxi Loongs

The Shanxi Loongs, also known as Shanxi SDIC Raptors Club or Shanxi Fenjiu Shares are a Chinese professional basketball team based in Taiyuan, Shanxi, which plays in the Northern Division of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). The Shanxi Fenjiu Company is the club's corporate sponsor, while its mascot is a dragon.

The team was known in English as the Shanxi Brave Dragons from the Summer of 2007 until September 2018, when a rebranding ceremony was held, unveiling a new logo and nickname. Loong is the Chinese word for dragon, in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

History

Originally known as the Henan Renhe Dragons (河南仁和) due to corporate sponsorship by the Henan Renhe Group (河南仁和集团), the team rebranded as a result of an agreement signed with the Henan Jiyuan Iron & Steel Group (河南济源钢铁集团) in early November, just before the CBA's 2004–05 regular season began (jigang is an abbreviation for jiyuan gangtie or Jiyuan Iron & Steel).

In conjunction with this change—the club moved from its original home city of Zhengzhou to Jiyuan—in the middle of its first season. From 2004 to 2006 they were known as the Henan Jigang Dragons (河南济钢猛龙) or Henan Jigang or Henan Dragons, and were based in both Jiyuan and Luoyang, Henan.

During the 2004–05 CBA season, the team's first in the league, the Henan Dragons finished in seventh and last place in the CBA's North Division and out of the playoffs. In the 2005–06 CBA season they suffered the same fate yet again.

Before the 2006–07 CBA season, the team headed to Taiyuan, and changed its name to the Shanxi Yujun Dragons or Shanxi Yujun or Shanxi Dragons. They signed with a new sponsor the following year, and became known as the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons, but the club has fared little better on the court since its relocation.

In January 2010, the Brave Dragons signed former NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury. He only stayed with Shanxi through the end of the 2009–10 CBA season, before leaving for Foshan, and eventually Beijing.

In August 2011, the Brave Dragons played an exhibition game against the Georgetown University Hoyas during the Washington, D.C. squad's two-week summer trip to China, but lost by a final score of 98–81.

The Shanxi Brave Dragons are a professional basketball team based in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China. The team was founded in 1995 and has since become one of the most successful teams in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). The team is known for its fast-paced and high-scoring style of play, which has earned them a loyal fan base both in China and around the world.

The team's roster is made up of talented players from China and around the world, including former NBA players like Jamaal Franklin and Brandon Jennings. The team's star player is Guo Ailun, a Chinese point guard who is widely regarded as one of the best players in the CBA.

The Shanxi Brave Dragons have won several championships over the years, including the CBA championship in 2009. They have also been runners-up in the CBA finals on multiple occasions. The team's success has helped to raise the profile of basketball in Shanxi and has inspired a new generation of young players to take up the sport.

Off the court, the Shanxi Brave Dragons are known for their commitment to community service and charitable causes. The team regularly participates in events and activities that benefit local communities and promote social welfare. Overall, the Shanxi Brave Dragons are a talented and dedicated team that has earned the respect and admiration of fans around the world.
