He could save meter by canceling f.S by item throw without RC..is there some sort of trick or mixup behind it ??

Basically, it's two things.
1) He wanted to close some distance with f.S RC and do a bit of pressure.

2) He expected the other player to respect his pressure, so he threw an item to try to gain even more advantage. The opponent didn't expect the item toss, so it was very difficult to react to/deal with the following 5P.
