The England international scored a hat-trick in the 6-0 thrashing of South China on Saturday.
"In my experience, over the years, when you're scoring goals they just keep coming, and when you've had a good pre-season, you're scoring goals that lead you into the start of the season.
"I want to get off to a good start and it's important in pre-season games that not only me but all the lads feel fit and sharp.
"It's important to have that confidence going into the games, you get the chances, you don't even think about it, you believe that you're going to score and when you've got that belief, good things happen."
Tottenham's win over South China meant they sealed third place in the Asia Tophy. But Defoe insists that despite the tournament's relative low-profile, it is important to win pre-season games.
"You want to come here and you want to win games," he added.
"It doesn't matter if it's pre-season. It's important to get that winning mentality going into the season, and getting that spirit in the dressing room."
