Not relevant. If the defender had LGP and legally maintained it (I'm not convinced he did, yet), it can not be a block, by rule. The shooter getting partially past doesn't change that at all. The shooter getting partially past only means that the defender has basically lost the right to lateral movement since such movement would be towards the shooter.
