The team won 4 WCBA championships, first in 2012 and more recently from 2016 to 2018.

History

The team was founded in 1952 and has won several championships during its history. In the national system, the Beijing team won several Chinese Women's Basketball League A and National Games championships. However, the team was also relegated to the second division because of its poor performance. In 1981, the Beijing women's basketball team won the last national league championship during the national system. [1]

After four years of dormancy in the second division, the Beijing Shougang women's basketball team returned to the newly established top league WCBA in 1995. Although the Beijing women's basketball team has also introduced excellent players such as Zhang Yu and Qian Weijuan, the team has been wandering in the league until 2011. In May 2011, the team was even more dissatisfied with the "corporal punishment" of the coach, and the whole echelon of training broke out. However, the team rose rapidly in the subsequent 2011-2012 season, when the Beijing women's basketball team once again introduced Zhang Yu from Liaoning and former South Korean national player Kim Young-ok. Coupled with the gradual maturity of Zhang Fan, the core of the team, the Beijing women's basketball team finally successfully reached the season's finals and defeated Zhejiang to win the season's championship. [2]

The Beijing women's basketball team has continued to be a competitive team in the WCBA since then. In 2016, the team won its second WCBA championship. The team has also been a regular participant in the FIBA Asia Women's Championship and has won the championship twice. The Beijing women's basketball team is a respected team in Chinese basketball. The team has a long and storied history and has produced many talented players. The team is a source of pride for the city of Beijing, and continues to be a competitive force in the WCBA.
