Somehow I think the block becomes illegal, when the blocker moves with the opponent, as in moving screen case. But I can not find any support from the rulebook.
Before I give up and convince myself it is legal, I want to get the bless from you guys. Do you consider it legal? if not, what is the rule basis to say it is illegal.
Thanks.

You are not going to find anything illegal, because based on what you have described there is nothing illegal. The purpose of a screen is to get in someone's way. But if you are talking about players going for the ball and one player stops, I do not see how that would be illegal. It is not technically a screen and the ball is loose.
Please stop using the term “moving screen.” The legality of the screen has nothing to do with if it is moving or not. You can have a stationary screen and still be illegal. Maybe that is why you are having a problem with the situation.
Peace
