Today, Lakers coach Redick was interviewed after training.

Talking about the team's defense, Redick said: "If we want to be a good team, then at some point, this will be inevitable, and this is the reality. This is why we have to develop habits, strengthen communication, and maintain excellent physical fitness to create an excellent defense. I could have written on the blackboard "Championship-level defense" "But what does that mean? Honestly, what does that even mean? It makes no sense, it really means nothing."

"How do you defend at a championship level? You have to have great habits. You have to be good at communication and build trust. You have to maintain great physical fitness to be able to play harder. It's actually very simple."
