Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin () is a Chinese professional basketball team based in Jinan, Shandong, competing in the Northern Division of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Some of the team's home games are also held in the nearby city of Linyi.
The club's corporate sponsor is the Hi-Speed Group, succeeding its long-time previous corporate sponsor, Kingston.
In its early years, the team was known as the Shandong Flaming Bulls (), but was renamed the Shandong Lions at the start of the 2003âÂÂ04 CBA season. At the same time, the club moved its homecourt from Jinan to Yantai (six games) and Dongying (five games). For the 2004âÂÂ05 CBA season, they relocated to Tai'an, but have been back in Jinan since the 2005âÂÂ06 CBA season.
During the 2004âÂÂ05 CBA season, the freshly-rebranded Shandong Gold Lions finished in sixth place in the CBA North Division, and out of the playoffs. In the 2005âÂÂ06 season, the team finished fifth, yet again out of the playoffs.
The club's most successful campaign so far has been the 2012âÂÂ13 CBA season, when it advanced to the CBA Finals, but got swept in the best-of-seven championship series in just four games by the Guangdong Southern Tigers.
