Bryant Talks Chemistry With Lin, Young Wants Ball More
Kobe Bryant discussed his chemistry with starting point guard Jeremy Lin after the overtime loss on Sunday, saying everything is goign pretty well.
“He and I are playing two-man action a lot and trying to take advantage of the defense that way,” Kobe told Lakers Nation.
“Although Kobe and Lin are still figuring out each other’s style, the two are starting to develop nice chemistry on the court. Earlier this season that bond did not seem to be there, but as the season progresses the two are beginning to get on the same page. In order for the Lakers to advance as team and possibly make a push for the postseason, the team will need to have their starting backcourt in sync,” the blog noted.
Nick Young’s return helped the Lakers get two wins but Young wants to be more involved, particularly at the end of games.
Young said that he’s “got to demand getting the ball more himself toward the end,” Serena Winters of Lakers Nation said.
Lin discussed Kobe’s role at the end of the game, calling it a “tough” issue.
“He’s a tough shot taker and a tough shot maker and he’s a superstar and sometimes you’ve got to give him that freedom to go and be who he is and do what he does and sometimes you’ve got to find a way to keep the flow,” Lin said.
“It’s a balance and I think we’re a lot closer towards that balance than we were maybe in the beginning.”
