Wikipedia - Guangzhou Loong Lions

The Guangzhou Loong Lions (simplified Chinese: 广州龙狮; traditional Chinese: 廣州龍獅; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Lóng Shī) are a Chinese professional basketball team based in Guangzhou, Guangdong. They play in the Southern Division of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).

History

The team was founded in November 2000 as Shaanxi Gaitianli Kylins by the Xi'an Dongsheng Group. In August 2001, they won the "B" league championship, and were promoted to the CBA. In the 2004–05 season, the Shaanxi Kylins finished in fifth place in the North Division, and were out of the playoffs. In 2005–06, they finished sixth, and were once again out of the playoffs. The team was scheduled to participate in the 2008 season of the International Basketball League (IBL). They were replaced by the Shanxi Brave Dragons.

In 2010, the Shaanxi Kylins moved from Xi'an to Foshan, and renamed themselves the Foshan Dralions. The club opted to start rendering its English name as "Long-Lions" rather than "Dralions" before the start of the 2014–15 season.

In 2016, the Foshan Long-Lions moved from Foshan to Guangzhou, and renamed themselves the Guangzhou Long-Lions. In 2017, the Nanhai Long-Lions were founded as the affiliate team. The team competes in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL).

De Guangzhou Long-Lions (Chinees: 广州龙狮) is een professionele basketbalclub gevestigd in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Het team speelt in de Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) en hun thuisbasis is het Guangzhou Gymnasium.

Het team werd opgericht in 1993 en stond oorspronkelijk bekend als de Guangzhou Army Tigers. In 2004 werd het team overgenomen door de Guangzhou Long-Lions Group en hernoemd naar de Guangzhou Long-Lions.

De Long-Lions hebben nog geen grote titels gewonnen, maar behaalden wel enkele opmerkelijke successen. In 2013 behaalden ze de finale van de CBA Play-offs, waar ze verloren van de Beijing Ducks. In 2016 en 2017 behaalden ze de halve finale van de CBA Play-offs.

De huidige hoofdcoach van de Long-Lions is Du Feng, een voormalig Chinese nationale teamspeler. Enkele van de meest opvallende spelers in de selectie van het team zijn:

* Chen Yingjun (guard)
* Hu Mingxuan (guard)
* Liu Quanbiao (forward)
* Ren Junwei (center)

De Guangzhou Long-Lions zijn een ambitieus team dat streeft naar succes in de CBA. Met hun getalenteerde spelers en ervaren coach hebben ze een goede kans om in de komende jaren een topclub te worden.
