[Reporter Lu Yangxuan/Comprehensive Report] The East Asian Super League ignited the war today at the SM Marina Arena in Cebu, Philippines. PLG Fubon Warriors relied on Xinyang to score 30 points against Ma Ke. Zhou Guiyu scored 27 points and defeated Macau Haojun 103:89. Cai Wencheng, who retired in the off-season and became an executive coach, received his first victory as coach.

The Warriors ranked third in the Eastern Conference last season and missed the playoffs. They made a comeback this season with many changes in the lineup.

In addition, Marco, who switched to special attack from CITIC, added 15 points and 10 rebounds. After the first two quarters, they held a 54:38 advantage.

The Warriors continued their offensive after changing the basket, widening the point difference to 27 points in the third quarter. Although they were once chased by Macau with only 11 points left at the end of the game, Hong Kaijie responded with a three-pointer and ended up winning by 14 points. Marco scored 30 points and 17 rebounds. Zhou Guiyu made 11 of 16 shots, including 3 three-pointers, adding 27 points and 5 assists. Pickett, who is also a new face, had 16 points and 11 rebounds.
