On October 3rd, at the CBA preseason match in Ji’an, Jiangxi, Sichuan ultimately lost to Guangdong with a score of 83-84, suffering their fourth consecutive loss in the preseason.
This game saw Sichuan perform much better compared to the previous three matches. They had a chance to win but failed to withstand the pressure in the crucial stages of the final quarter. Despite outstanding performances from the two starting foreign players, Sumner and Marić, only two players on the team scored in double digits. Other Sichuan players fell short of expectations. Hunt, who came off the bench today, also struggled with his shooting, scoring only 9 points and 2 assists. Losing the game by just one point was indeed regrettable.
Throughout the game, Sumner started and played for 27 minutes and 30 seconds, shooting 7 out of 17, including 1 out of 7 from three-point range, and made 16 out of 20 free throws, scoring a game-high 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist, along with 2 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers, and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of +1. Marić played for 24 minutes, shooting 7 out of 18, including 2 out of 5 from three-point range, and made 6 out of 8 free throws, scoring 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists, along with 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers, and 3 fouls. Together they scored 53 points, but it ended up being in vain.
