CBA 1998-99

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 1998-1999 season, 3 teams were promoted from the "B" league and made their CBA debut: Beijing Aoshen Olympians, Sichuan Lanjian, and Jilin Northeast Tigers. The first two finished in the top two spots in the 1998 "B" league competition; Jilin finished third but was promoted anyway as a result of the withdrawal of the Air Force Lianhang Eagles team that finished 10th in the previous season, due to financial reasons related to their corporate sponsor China Lianhang Co.
