In your case, if the defender has LGP, then bails out early, then is landed on by A1, this is not a block, either.
My initial comment was based on B1 establishing LGP.

4-23-3e (NFHS) says the defender can turn or duck to avoid the contact and maintain LGP. Falling backwards onto the court prior to contact isn't either of those.
