TheShenzhen New Century Liebao Club, also known asShenzhenMarco Polo orShenzhen Leopards (previouslyShenzhen Aviators) are aChinese professionalbasketball team which plays in the Southern Division of theChinese Basketball Association (CBA). New Century is the club's corporate sponsor.
The team is based in Futian District,Shenzhen,Guangdong, and plays its home games at Shenzhen Gymnasium.
The club was founded in 2003 as Dongguan New Century Leopards and was initially located inDongguan,Guangdong. After twelve seasons, the team relocated to nearbyShenzhen in 2015. Success came early in their existence for the Leopards, as they were the runners-up in the 2004Chinese Basketball League (CBL) championship, and were promoted to theChinese Basketball Association (CBA) for the 2005–06 season.
In its first season in the CBA in 2005–06, Dongguan finished in seventh and last place in the South Division, and was out of the playoffs. The team would soon battle its way to respectability, however, becoming somewhat regular participants in the CBA's postseason over the ensuing years.
