On September 22, in the pre-season games of the CBA held in Jinjiang, Fujian, Guangzhou suffered a 67-89 defeat to Tianjin, marking their third consecutive loss.
In this game, Guangzhou still fielded an all-Chinese squad. They started off with a decent offensive performance and could take the initiative. However, the team soon lost its rhythm on offense, committing frequent turnovers. Tianjin capitalized on these mistakes with counterattacks, continuously widening the point gap. By the end of the third quarter, Guangzhou was already trailing by 20 points, and in the final quarter, they were unable to narrow the gap, ultimately suffering a 22-point defeat.
Throughout the game, Guangzhou committed a staggering 28 turnovers, all individual errors, with 22 of them leading to steals by their opponents, reflecting a rather bleak performance. Out of the twelve players Guangzhou fielded, eleven made turnovers, with only Li Jiazhao avoiding any, though he played for only three minutes.
Guangzhou concluded their participation in the Jinjiang division with a record of three losses out of three games. The all-Chinese squad felt the disparity keenly. In this match, Liu Yancheng scored 13 points, Zhang Xingliang contributed 11 points, and Wang Yingran added 10 points and 7 rebounds.
