Wednesday, 16 May 2012:

The Australian Boomers will face off against world No.10 China in a three-match basketball series in Western Australia in June as the two countries gear up for the London Olympics.

The Boomers, ranked ninth in the world, defeated China 2-0 in last year's YouYi series held in Perth and Singapore.

Game one of the upcoming series will be played at Perth's Challenge Stadium on June 9, with game two in Albany on June 11.

The series will return to Perth for game three on June 13.

YouYi is Mandarin for friendship.

Star Boomers' centre Andrew Bogut won't take part in the series - or the Olympics - after undergoing ankle surgery in April.

China and Australia have been drawn in the same group at the Olympics, with Group B also featuring Beijing silver medallists Spain, hosts Great Britain and Brazil.
