After the 17.5-kilometer supply point, there was no need for the players in the team to continue maintaining their formation.
Athletes who have the strength to hit the rankings have stayed with the team before in order to preserve more energy. But at this time, the last leader in the team finally stepped forward. He will be responsible for the next two kilometers. Lead.
After two kilometers, it is almost time to enter the final sprint process. At that time, it is time to compete with personal ability. Whoever retains more energy will sprint faster.
The person responsible for leading the race is destined to be sacrificed. If it is an ordinary participating team, it may be difficult to have such tactical coordination. No one is willing to sacrifice their own results to achieve a good ranking for others. But the police team was different. They strictly implemented Dai Li's arrangements before the game. The leading athlete did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to strive for better results for the entire team.
The same is true for the Dingtian Group's team. The discipline of veterans can still be guaranteed.
At the 20-kilometer supply point, there was less than a kilometer left before the end of the race. At this time, all contestants began the final sprint, and the gap between the contestants quickly widened.
The ranking of the individual competition is naturally based on performance, while the ranking of the team competition is calculated based on points. Players who finish the first 500 meters will have points. The first place can get 500 points for their team, and the second place can get 499 points. points, and so on, the 500th place can get exactly 1 point, and the contestants after 500 will not be counted in the team competition results.
If there are multiple players in a team entering the top 500, then the results of the top 5 players will be calculated directly.
At the finish line, everyone looked anxiously at the track, waiting for the first place to appear.
"Coming!" Suddenly someone shouted, and dozens of cameras or camera lenses were instantly focused on the horizon.
The first person to cross was a young man in his twenties. He was a student at the Sports University, and his usual speciality was marathon.
Real professional athletes will not participate in a competition of this level. Professional athletes cannot afford to lose the championship against a group of ordinary people. So college athletes are almost the highest level among the competitors.
Moreover, these college athletes come to compete to improve their personal performance, so they do not pose a threat to the teams participating in the team competition.
The second, third, and fourth places are all college athletes, and all the way up to eighth place are monopolized by college athletes, but they all come from different universities.
The ninth place is a marathon enthusiast who is about 30 years old. He was also a professional athlete when he was young. Although he has retired for many years, he still maintains a large amount of training. His weekly training amount is almost 120 km to 150 km.
For amateurs, this kind of training volume is already incredible. Even the professional athletes of the national team have a weekly training volume of 180 kilometers to 220 kilometers. For an amateur, one week If he can really train for 150 kilometers, it means that he spends almost all his spare time practicing for marathon, and it is normal for him to achieve good results.
"Tenth place is here!" Dai Li saw the familiar blue sportswear from a distance.
"It's Wu Feng!" Dai Li let out a long breath. This police officer with a background as a special forces officer really gave him a surprise.
Liu Baogang's face next to him was a little ugly, but after just a few seconds, his expression became much more relaxed.
The twelfth place is a contestant from Dingtian Group.
The difference in points between the tenth and twelfth places is only two points, which in Liu Baogang's opinion can be ignored.
"Nineteenth place is ours again!" Liu Baogang clenched his fists excitedly.
The points for the twelfth place are 489, and the points for the 19th place are 482. Adding the two together, Dingtian Group has obtained 971 points, far ahead of the other participating teams.
The twenty-third one was obtained by a special police officer from the police representative team. However, the police team still trailed Dingtian Group by two points with a total score of 969 points.
…
"Director Xiao, so far we have two players who have finished the competition, with 971 points, ranking first in the team competition."
Xiao Yunan nodded: "Notify the publicity personnel in place. When we win the team championship, we will immediately start our Jinyuan Yayuan publicity plan. By the way, how is the situation of other participating teams?"
"Of the other participating teams, only the police team had two players finish the race. Their score is 969 points." The man reported immediately.
"Only two points less than us!" Xiao Yunan frowned and continued: "Keep paying attention."
…
At the finish line, Dai Li and Liu Baogang were waiting anxiously.
Twenty-five, twenty-six, and twenty-seven all crossed the finish line one after another. The 28th and 29th place also appeared at the end of the road, but among these people there were no contestants from both sides.
"Thirtieth place, not yet! Our people will come quickly." Liu Baogang kept praying in his heart. However, the next contestant to reach the finish line still did not have anyone from the Dingtian Group.
Likewise, there are no police officers among these contestants.
Finally, a familiar tracksuit appears on the horizon.
"Here we come! The 41st place! From our team!" Liu Baogang looked excited, which means that the third player from Dingtian Group is about to finish the race.
Four or five seconds later, another member of the Dingtian Group also appeared.
"The 42nd place is also from our team! Four people, there are four of us!" Liu Baogang quickly calculated in his mind. The points for 41st place are 460 points, and the points for 42nd place are 459 points. Including the previous two-point lead, Dingtian Group has a full 921-point lead over the second-place police team.
"We are sure to win! Now we only need one more person to come, and we will win!" Liu Baogang's originally worried heart suddenly became much more settled.
Forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, in the next minute, four individuals came one after another, but there were still no players from both sides.
After more than half a minute, No. 46 appeared in everyone's field of vision. He was wearing a blue sports T-shirt.
When Dai Li saw this blue sports T-shirt, he knew that his team members were here.
"The forty-sixth place is not bad." Liu Baogang's expression remained calm. The police team had an extra forty-sixth place, which only gained 455 points and did not affect the overall situation.
And then, there was another person behind him, another blue sports T-shirt.
The 46th and 48th places are both from the police team.
Liu Baogang's expression changed slightly.
Next to him, Dai Li had already taken out his cell phone and started calculating.
"The 46th place has 455 points, the 48th place has 457 points, plus the previous 969 points, our current points total is 1881 points. As for Dingtian Group..." Li Dai pressed the calculator on his mobile phone. , and quickly came up with a number: "1890 points, we are still 9 points behind Dingtian Group!"
Dai Li continued to look at the horizon. More and more black spots were appearing on the horizon. It was obvious that many runners were already rushing toward the finish line.
"Now that four players from each side have reached the finish line, it's up to the last one. There is a 9-point gap. As long as our next player is 9 places higher than them, we can win!"
