If a player has already possessed the ball and then slides, as in your two examples, it is a violation. He has illegally moved his pivot foot. The only time that sliding with the ball is legal is when in the act of possessing the ball you are sliding on the floor. In this instance you can slide as far as your momentum will allow you to without it being a violation.
