In the 1990s, Jilin Men’s Basketball Team gradually declined. It just got the 7th in the 1995national quarterfinals, and had to depart from the CBA. After great efforts to revitalize, Jilin Team won the Champion in 1996-1997 season in CNBA. In the summer of 1998, the team participated in the CBL and got the third, which failed to enter the CBA. However, in the same year, the Air Force Team quit, and Jilin Team had the opportunity to substitute it and returned to CBA. After two hard seasons of trying to keep the qualification, Jilin Team met their second spring. With the grown-up of local players and more native and foreign players’ joining in, the team strength improved, and for six consecutive seasons, the team entered the quarterfinals.
