Historyβ»
In its early years, the team was known as the Shandong Flaming Bulls (ε±±δΈη«η), but was renamed the Shandong Lions at the start of the 2003β04 CBA season. At the same time, the club moved its homecourt from Jinan to Yantai (six games) and Dongying (five games). For the 2004β05 CBA season, they relocated to Tai'an, but have been back in Jinan since the 2005β06 CBA season.
During the 2004β05 CBA season, "the freshly-rebranded Shandong Gold Lions finished in sixth place in the CBA North Division." And out of the playoffs. In the 2005β06 season, the team finished fifth, yet again out of the playoffs.
The club's most successful campaign so far has been the 2012β13 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.
