I found the way to change it using Cheat Engine, for home & away teams, below the mini tutorial:
[Mini Tutorial]
Open NBA 2k20-2k23
Open Cheat Engine and attach in to NBA 2K
Start the game and go into coach sliders

look for new scan value "50":

increment the Help Defense to "51" and perform a next scan to the same value:

...you will get just one memory address:

...this is what we're looking for so look for memory around this memory map:

I usually put:
Home & Away Help: 160
Home & Away Double Teams: 190
.....this will also make CPU use more "TRAP" defense call....both half court and full court.....but just experiment with other values.
I usually keep lower values for exhibition and higher values for playoff games....
Enjoy!
