Today, Lakers coach Redick accepted an exclusive interview with team reporter Mike Trudell.

Talking about the reason why the team started with 7 wins and 2 losses this season, Redick said: "I think the key lies in our mentality. In the NBA, if you step on the court and don't believe that you can win, it is impossible to win, and our players have had this belief from the beginning."

"In the previous game against the Trail Blazers, their confidence, firm belief and true team cohesion were exciting to watch and were fully demonstrated." Redick said.
