Jerry Krause, the architect of the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s, has
died at age 77.

90年代一手打造傳奇公牛王朝的Jerry Krause享壽77歲

The Bulls confirmed his death on Tuesday.

公牛隊於周二證實了此事

A Chicago native, Krause was both revered and reviled in his hometown.

作為一個道地的芝加哥人，Krause在家鄉的風評褒貶不一

After taking over as Bulls general manager in 1985, Krause was responsible
for bringing together the pieces around Michael Jordan that led to six
championships.

在1985年接下公牛隊GM後，Krause打造了以MJ為中心的傳統勁旅，並拿下兩次三連霸

He hired Phil Jackson from the Continental Basketball as an assistant to
coach Doug Collins and eventually fired Collins in favor of the
unconventional Jackson. The move was questioned since Collins had led the
Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals in 1988-89, losing to the eventual
champion Detroit Pistons.

Krause從美國大陸籃球協會找來了禪師來當時任總教練Doug Collins的助理教練，
兩年後取代他做為總教練，因Collins於1988-89賽季帶領公牛打到東區決賽，
最後輸給了活塞，扶正禪師這項決策被許多人質疑。

Jackson's maneuvering of superstar personalities, though, was later seen as a
big part of the Bulls' sustained success.

禪師擅於和超級球星周旋的這項特質，被後人認為是公牛能夠不斷勝利的關鍵之一

Besides getting Jackson, Krause worked a 1987 draft day trade to get Scottie
Pippen out of obscure Central Arkansas and drafted Horace Grant. The Grant
selection made it possible to trade popular power forward Charles Oakley to
the New York Knicks for center Bill Cartwright in 1988. With Jordan, those
players formed the core of the first three Bulls titles in 1991-93.

除了扶正禪師之外，Krause在1987年選秀，交易來了Pippen並選了Horace Grant
一開始Grant是作為Charles Oakley的替補，最後公牛將Oakley交易到尼克
讓Grant站上先發，這些球員成為了公牛1991-93賽季的核心陣容

After Jordan briefly retired in 1993 and then returned in 1995, the Bulls had
more work to do. Krause signed guard Ron Harper and acquired Dennis Rodman to
replace Grant, who had bolted in free agency. Krause had also drafted Toni
Kukoc out of Croatia in 1990, before it was popular to select players from
overseas. Kukoc became a key part of the second three-peat.

1993年MJ跑去打棒球，1995年回歸公牛，Krause簽下了Ron Harper以及找來的Rodman
來取代Grant，另外從克羅埃西亞找來了Kukoc，當時外籍球員的風氣並不盛行，
但Kukoc成功了成為第二次三連霸的核心陣容

After three more titles from 1996-98, however, the wheels came off. A
simmering feud with Jackson led to the coach leaving. Pippen was traded to
the Houston Rockets, and Jordan retired for the second time in 1999.

1996-98賽季拿下三連霸後，Krause和禪師交惡致使禪師去了湖人，Pippen被交易至
火箭，MJ第二次退休，公牛王朝正式解散

Krause was often blamed for the disintegration of the dynasty that he had
been such a big part of building.

Krause從此被認為是致使王朝分崩離析的頭號戰犯

Tim Floyd became the new coach, and the Bulls drafted Elton Brand No. 1 in
1999, but Chicago never won more than 30 games in a season before Krause
retired from the Bulls in 2003.

公牛王朝解散後，Tim Floyed成為新總教練，1999年公牛選來了Elton Brand，但公牛
隊之後便從未在一季贏超過30勝，直到2003年Krause退位

(Krause和Tim Floyed的恩怨可詳見#13XW4XsO (NBA) [ptt.cc])

Before getting the Bulls GM job, Krause was an NBA scout for numerous teams
and then a baseball scout for the Chicago White Sox, whose owner Jerry
Reinsdorf also owned the Bulls.

在成為公牛GM之前，Krause為許多隊伍當過球探，也曾是MLB白襪隊的球探
Jerry Reinsdorf同時是公牛跟白襪的老闆

In recent years, Krause had returned to baseball scouting, working for the
Yankees, Mets and White Sox again. He was was named a special assistant to
the scouting department of the Diamondbacks in 2011.

近年來，Krause重返棒球球探的工作，為洋基、大都會、白襪工作，2011年成為響尾蛇
球探部門中的特別助理

According to the Chicago Tribune, a memorial service for Krause will be held
April 9.

根據Chicage Tribune，Krause的追思禮拜將於4/9舉行
