The player moving with the ball (the dribbler) changed direction to avoid contact once the defender gained LGP in the middle of the free throw line. Then, after the dribbler started to go around the defender (at the elbow), the defender's movement was not "lateral" or "oblique". Instead, the movement was directly sideways into the path already started into by the dribbler.
What you described is the definition of lateral.
