Yep.

But, if he's able to move laterally maintaining a position in A1's path the entire time, no. He met the rule. Maintaining LGP requires maintaining a position in the opponents path. If A1 goes a different direction faster than the defender can adjust, the defender loses LGP and must reobtain it in the new path.


Here is an exaggerated play to demonstrate the difference....

A1 heading straight down the left lane line. B1 sets up on the left lane line. A1, seeing his path is cut off, stops, turns 90 degrees right and goes around 3 players across the lane then cuts down the right lane line where he then heads down that lane line. B1 sees what was happening a bit late after A1 has taken an entirely different path and tries to shift to the other side of the key where he attempts to jump into the A1's new path.
