There’s not an ounce of John Cena that believes Rob Gronkowski can make a planned field goal kick that’s set to take place moments before next month’s Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
約翰·塞納一點也不相信羅伯·格隆科夫斯基能按計劃在下月拉斯維加斯舉行的第viii屆超級碗之前踢出一記入球。
“I'm just going with the math in my head,” Cena, 47, laughed during a recent interview with PEOPLE. “He missed last year. And I think he's going to miss this year.”
47歲的塞納最近在接受《人物》雜志采訪時笑著說:“我只是在做我腦子里的數(shù)學(xué)運算。”“他去年輸了。我想他今年會錯過的。”
A new Super Bowl ad campaign by FanDuel is pitting Gronkowski, 34, and the wrestler-turned-actor against one another over the upcoming kick. Fans will be able to place a free pick on the FanDuel Sportsbook App, guessing whether the four-time Super Bowl champion will make it or not.
在FanDuel的超級碗新廣告中,34歲的格隆科夫斯基和這位摔跤手出身的演員在即將到來的比賽中相互競爭。球迷們可以在FanDuel體育博彩應(yīng)用程序上進行免費選擇,猜測四屆超級碗冠軍是否會成功。
Last year’s attempt — dubbed the “Kick of Destiny” — saw Gronkowski miss wide left. This year, Gronkowski will line up in front of a live audience in Las Vegas and get a do-over.
去年,格隆科夫斯基的這一腳被稱為“命運之踢”,但偏左。今年,格隆科夫斯基將在拉斯維加斯的現(xiàn)場觀眾面前排隊,重來一遍。
FanDuel is running a series of commercials ahead of the kick. One ad shows a disheveled Gronkowski aimlessly walking through the desert after missing last year’s kick. That’s when an unlikely coach appears to take Gronkowski under his wing: Carl Weathers.
FanDuel在開球前播放了一系列廣告。在一則廣告中,凌亂的格隆科夫斯基在錯過了去年的射門后,漫無目的地在沙漠中行走。這時,一個不太可能的教練出現(xiàn)了,他把格隆科夫斯基置于自己的羽翼之下:卡爾·威瑟斯。
Weathers, 76, believes Gronkowski can make the kick, while Cena — playing the role of Gronkowski’s “arch nemesis” in a follow-up ad — does not. Fans can either place their free pick with Weathers or with Cena, depending on their trust in Gronkowski’s boot.
76歲的威瑟斯相信格隆科夫斯基能踢出這一球,而在隨后的廣告中扮演格隆科夫斯基“死對頭”角色的塞納卻不這么認為。球迷們可以選擇威瑟斯還是塞納,這取決于他們對格隆科夫斯基的信任。
Cena told PEOPLE recently that it was a pleasure to work with Gronkowski, despite his scripted mistrust in the retired NFL star’s kicking abilities. The 16-time WWE world champion said he was excited to meet Gronkowski, having won three Super Bowls while playing for Cena’s hometown New England Patriots and even later enjoying a brief celebrity stint in WWE.
塞納最近在接受《人物》雜志采訪時表示,與格隆科夫斯基合作是一件愉快的事情,盡管他對這位退役NFL球星的踢球能力缺乏信任。這位16次WWE世界冠軍表示,他很高興見到格隆科夫斯基,他在為塞納的家鄉(xiāng)新英格蘭愛國者隊效力時贏得了三次超級碗,后來甚至在WWE中短暫地成為名人。
Gronkowski has never officially wrestled a match for WWE, but made several special appearances over the years – even once winning the wrestling promotion’s unsanctioned “24/7 Championship” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
格隆科夫斯基從未正式參加過WWE比賽,但多年來曾多次特別亮相,甚至在COVID-19大流行期間贏得了摔跤推廣活動未經(jīng)批準的“24/7錦標賽”。
“He was the WWE 24/7 champion, so now we're peers as well,” Cena said. “He plays for the Patriots. I grew up in New England, then he transferred to the Buccaneers. I live in Tampa, so we really had a lot to talk about.”
“他是WWE 24/7冠軍,所以現(xiàn)在我們也是同齡人,”塞納說。“他為愛國者隊效力。我在新英格蘭長大,然后他轉(zhuǎn)到了海盜隊。我住在坦帕,所以我們真的有很多話要談。”
Cena said filming the commercials alongside Gronkowski “was a really fun experience.”
塞納說,與格隆科夫斯基一起拍攝廣告“是一段非常有趣的經(jīng)歷”。
“And I think that the Kick of Destiny 2, the whole campaign, is very exciting not only for us, but certainly for the fans as well,” the Fast X actor said. “It gives them a lot more interest in the game and makes moments more meaningful.”
“我認為命運之踢2,整個活動,不僅對我們來說是非常令人興奮的,當然對粉絲來說也是如此,”這位《速X》演員說。“這讓他們對游戲更感興趣,讓時刻變得更有意義。”
