Yes, `construct(stride=2)` does exactly the same thing before returning an array.

I am not sure if I got the point exactly, but the following is similar to what you want?
```python
In [81]: arr = xr.DataArray(np.arange(4), dims=(""x"",)) 
    ...: arr.rolling(x=2).construct(""roll_x"").isel(x=slice(1, None, 2))        
Out[81]: 
<xarray.DataArray (x: 2, roll_x: 2)>
array([[0., 1.],
       [2., 3.]])
Dimensions without coordinates: x, roll_x
