One minute ago, Baogang Liu had been planning to celebrate his victory; once he looked at the calculator on his phone, however, he lost all of his confidence.

Although Baogang Liu was a little slow calculating, he did finish the calculation; his team's score was only nine points higher than that of the police team. In other words, it was a nine rank difference.

In a marathon race, a difference of nine ranks was no big deal at all. Especially after the 40th or 50th place finisher, there could be more than ten athletes rushing to the finish line together. The rankings among a group of athletes could easily change, and did so often.

I'm not going to lose it today, am I? Baogang Liu thought, no longer sure of himself.

There are no undefeated generals in the stadium, and it was normal for a coach to lose a match. But Baogang Liu really did not want to lose today. Both Baogang Liu and Dai Li were coaches on the national team, but Baogang Liu was a marathon coach. If he was defeated by a sprinting coach, he would be quite shamed.

It all depends on the fifth score. Hurry up! Baogang Liu silently prayed.

On the track, there were always other runners appearing on the horizon. At first they were black silhouettes in the distance, then gradually the color of their sportswear would become clear. Each time a new silhouette appeared, Baogang Liu and Dai Li would anxiously look at it. When they clearly saw that the athlete was not from their team nor their opponent's, they each deeply sighed in both relief and regret.

In a blink of the eye, more than 60 runners had finished the game. There were more and more contestants on the track and the distances between the runners were getting closer and closer together, which became overwhelming.

Counted as the 69th, the fifth contestant of Dai Li's police team finally come.

Here he is! My contestant has gotten here first! With 69th place, we will get another 432 points. Dai Li quickly calculated the results.

If there is no contestant from the Dingtian Group's team among the next nine runners passing the finish line, then the team championship is ours! Dai Li thought, secretly glancing at Baogang Liu, who was not far away.

Baogang Liu had very mixed feelings. Not too long ago, the fourth contestant of the Dingtian Group's team had arrived first, and Baogang Liu had even felt victory already in his grasp. However, he was unexpectedly waiting for a fifth runner from his team, and in this time three runners from the police team had finished the race.

There is still a chance. I'll still win as long as one of the next nine runners is from my team. As long as he gets a ranking above 78th place, we will still win the champion.

Baogang Liu was trying to cheer himself up. Thinking of this, Baogang Liu looked up into the distance. He saw another blue tracksuit.

Is this one from the police team again? They have six runners who have finished the race now?

Baogang Liu felt worried immediately. Although the score of the sixth contestant would not be counted in the group results, he had a very bad feeling.

71st place was again taken by the police team.

75th and 78th place were also from the police team.

It's over! I have lost. Baogang Liu already knew that the Dingtian Group had lost the group championship!

The fifth contestant finishing the race from the Dingtian Group placed 85th, which led them to score five less points than the police team. This gap was not much in terms of points, but Baogang Liu knew he had been completely defeated.

Among the finishers from 69th place to 85th place, six were members of the police team. In comparison, most contestants from the Dingtian Group team finished between 85th place and 100th place.
