D. White was traded from the Spurs to the Celtics in the 2021-22 season, and his three-point shooting was not good that year, only 3 to 06 shooting in the Green Shirts, and only 3 to 13 in the playoffs, so in the championship game, the Warriors threw three points at him, and this strategy eventually worked, although D. White shot 10 of 25 from the outside in the series, shooting 40%, but there were 3 games in which D. White's outside line was not opened, and the Warriors also had the last laugh to lift the championship trophy that year.

After breaking the franchise record, D. White recalled in an interview: "After the Finals, I felt like it was the biggest summer of my life, what happened in the championship game and the way I was defended on that stage, was the lowest moment for me. "I said to Draymond Green at the Olympics that the way you didn't defend me in the championship changed my life in a way. On what he thinks of D. Green, he said: "We respect each other a lot, and I think he saw the effort I put into changing my style of play, and I've always respected him. ”

"I was all in the summer, I was focused on consistency with my trainer Marcus Mason, and I think from that point on, I was constantly getting better," D. White said. In the year after the championship game, D. White has never shot below 38 percent from three-point range, and last year he shot 40.4 percent from three-point range in the championship game to help the team win the championship together.
