Group of four

The athlete smoothly entered the first corner area, and the following athletes began to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the leader, and the position between the athletes did not change. However, when entering the straight again, the leading Savin speeded up.

"The leader is accelerating? This is just 200 meters. Why is he starting to accelerate so early, is it a deliberate band or a trap?" The athletes that followed were starting to analyze, and then Carmel, Ali, and Najim followed without hesitation.

In the fifth place is the Japanese athlete Kobayashi, who grabbed a good position when he cut the inner lane after the start. It is said that the fifth place is a position that is easier to follow. The distance from the leader is not very far, and it is not easy to be thrown away. And when the leader uses tactics, the fifth athlete can also wait and see to make a decision.

"Savin accelerated? It's a trap? Let's watch the changes first!" Kobayashi did not choose to accelerate. He wanted to see how the previous athletes chose, but it was this hesitant time, Carmel and three others had speeded up to catch up. At this time, Kobayashi Shihe was awaken from the dream.

"This is not a trap, but Savin is making a rhythm." Kobayashi's position suddenly became awkward. If he does not keep up at this time, the 12 athletes will be divided into two groups. In front of Savin, Carmel, Ali, and Najim are leading groups, and the remaining athletes are behind the group, and the leader of the behind group is Kobayashi himself, which will consume a lot of his physical energy; and if Kobayashi wants to keep up, he has already missed the best time to accelerate, and has to face the lead group and adapt to their rhythm again.

"You have to keep up." Kobayashi finally chose to catch up. The following athletes also followed Kobayashi and behind, catching up with the leading group.

The leading Saving is about to enter the corner again. At the junction of the straight and the corner, Carmel suddenly surpassed Savin and came to the first position, and Savin did not have the slightest resistance. The position was given to Carmel.

"Carmel surpassed Savin, he is going to lead?"

But this did not end. After Carmel, Ali also caught up with Savin. Savin also did not resist and directly gave up his position.

"Savin is slowing down because the acceleration of physical strength consumed too much! So he lost two positions in a row." Kobayashi and at this time has not found that the four people in front have already started to hold a group.

After Savin was overtaken by Carmel and Ali in a row, Bashar Najim also caught up, but he did not launch a surpass, but he was side by side as if he was running with Savin, and Savin also quickly adapted to the rhythm of the new leader Carmel, the four-man group continued to stay ahead.

"Huh? Do these four people want to hold a group? Is it a good negotiation in advance? Is it aimed at me?" The Iranian athlete Mudila, who ranked sixth behind, first noticed something wrong, but Mudila thought they were targeting him.

This time, Iran sent two athletes to participate in the middle distance running competition, namely, Moerhejae and Mudila, among which Moerhejae is better at 800 meters, while Mudila is good at running 1500 meters.

Iran and other Gulf countries are not harmonious with each other. Although sports should not be involved in the hatred of the country, because of the thousand years of struggle between the two factions within this religion, Iran and other Gulf countries even have added hatred to their sports. The national opposition is also very serious, so Mudila was the first to notice the behavior of the four people in front.

"I didn't expect the four of them to hold a group, so it would be passive for me to continue. I must use the position of the next straight runway to surpass the Japanese." Mudila thought of doing it, and after accelerating into the straight, he started to accelerate and surpassed Kobayashi.

And at this moment, the four people in front started to speed up in unison, and the rhythm was a step faster than just now. At the end of the straight runway, Carmel gave Ali the leading position and Ali took the lead.

At this time, the distance of seven hundred meters has been crossed, and the leader has also changed between the two. The position of the four still looks very stable, but the trailing runners can not run comfortably. These frequent changes in rhythm will consume more physical energy for the runners. Among the other eight runners, the athletes with good strength are relatively better, and a few athletes with poor strength gradually show their decline.

...

"Zhang Guan is still the last one! Should I really be worried?" Coach Virgil suddenly felt a little irritated, because he found that Zhang Guan showed a very good rhythm with the running, it was almost the same as the previous athletes.

"Although he is the last one, to be honest, his rhythm of running is really good. As the strongest sprinter in the world, he really has a terrible talent. But the middle and long-distance races rely not only on running so it won't work. In the 1500m race, there will be no gap in the first 1100m. When the bell rang in the last lap, it will be the final decision to see who takes the final victory." Virgil thought silently.

At the same time, CCTV's narrator was very embarrassed. Since the start of the game, he has run more than two laps, and Zhang Guan is still in the bottom position.

"Why is he last, how can I explain?" This narrator has also explained Zhang Guan's game many times, but in the past, the process of the game was "Zhang Guan leads" and "Zhang Guan has huge advantages", "Zhang Guan took the lead in crossing the line" and so on, how could there be a situation where he has been running behind for more than two laps like today.

The narrator had no choice but to look to the direction of Director Sun for help, and Director Sun was prepared, and he said unhurriedly, "In the middle and long-distance race, the athletes spend most of their time, saving their energy during the running, Zhang Guan's current running rhythm is very good. Zhang Guan should continue to do so until the last lap, and then he will surpass other athletes."

Director Sun said here and thought about it seriously, and then said, "Of course, this is only the preliminary round. If you can stay in the top six, you can enter the final. I think Zhang Guan does not need to fight too fiercely to ensure that he can enter the final. That's all."

...

After a distance of one thousand meters, the front runner became Qatar Najim, however, among the following runners, two athletes have already fallen behind, and Zhang Guan has also come to the penultimate position. But at this time, even Zhang Guan, who lacks experience in middle-distance running, has seen that the first four are running in a group.

"It's a straight track ahead. After passing this straight line, only the last lap was left. It's time to catch up with them now." Zhang Guan decided to keep up with the pace of the athletes in front. After entering the straight track, Zhang Guan immediately entered the outer runway, and then began to accelerate.

Of the four leading athletes in the front, the first to notice that Zhang Guan was accelerating was Carmel. He immediately issued a secret signal to the other three points and took the lead to occupy a very good position. And then, Iranian Mudila and Japanese athlete Kobayashi also made corresponding defenses. The two of them locked the position tightly so that Zhang Guan could not enter the innermost runway, and Zhang Guan could only continue along the second track outside to run forward.

Fortunately, this is a straight track, if it is a curve, he would have wasted a lot of energy to catch up but at this time, other athletes have no plans to give Zhang Guan a position, everyone deliberately posted the distance that was very close to each other so that Zhang Guan could not find a place to merge into the gap.

Until the end, Zhang Guan is still on the second track. Even if he is running very fast, Zhang Guan will still be squeezed out on to the second track, which will inevitably cause him to run a lot more in the curve.

The referee rang the bell and there was one lap left before the game.

When the bell rang, the leading Qatar athlete Najim started to speed up, and then Ali, Savin, and Carmel also started to speed up. Among them, Carmel's speedup in the fourth place was very sudden, so that Iranian Mudila did not react in time, and there was a small space between the two.

"There is a room, a good opportunity!" Zhang Guan's response was much faster than Mudila. He seized this opportunity and entered the inner runway, just merged in between Carmel and Mudila.

"Zhang Guan rushed to the fifth position!" CCTV's commentator suddenly became excited.

Director Sun, said with a proud tone, "Zhang Guan has been in the last place in the past, and he is indeed retaining physical strength. Now the game only has the last lap left, and Zhang Guan has reached the fifth position, as long as he maintains this position, he can smoothly enter the final. And this fifth place is a very good ranking in the 1500 meters, you can attack, retreat, and defend!"

"Director Sun, what does it mean to be able to attack, retreat, and defend?" The commentator immediately asked very cooperatively.

"In the middle and long-distance race, the leader will be the master of the rhythm in the race..." Director Sun immediately began to speak eloquently.

...

"Zhang Guan is finally behind me, which is great! I will greet you!" Carmel ecstatic, he just deliberately accelerated suddenly, to create a chance for Zhang Guan, he wanted Zhang Guan to follow him. Once Zhang Guan followed, Carmel could change his running rhythm through the protagonist to disrupt the running rhythm of Zhang Guan and force Zhang Guan to consume a lot more physical energy.

The next moment, Carmel changed his rhythm.
