Fujian Xunxing

From Hoopedia

Fujian SBS Xunxing (福建SBS浔兴) or Fujian Xunxing or Fujian SBS are a basketball team in the South Division of the Chinese Basketball Association, based in Jinjiang, Fujian. They play their home games at Jiechang Coliseum. The "SBS" presumably reflects corporate sponsorship. Unlike all the other teams in the CBA, the team originally had no English-friendly animal-type nickname. They have since begun using the name Sturgeons.

The Fujian Xunxing started out in the Chinese Basketball League (CBL), China's second-tier professional league.

They made their CBA debut in the 2004–05 season, and finished in seventh and last place in the South Division, out of the playoffs. In 2005–06, they tied for fifth, just one win away from making the playoffs. Fujian improved in 2006-07, finishing with a regular season record of 19-11 and making it to the playoff quarterfinals. They repeated their performance in 2007-08, with a 17-13 record and a trip to the quarterfinals, losing to the Jiangsu Dragons, 3 games to 2.
